Mockingbird Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've set "Require a password on wakeup" under Power Options to "no", but Windows 10 still ask for a password when coming back from standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 1, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted August 1, 2015 i'm not sure that option has any effect anymore the option you are actually looking for is under "Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options" and the top dropdown is what you need to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingbird Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I already did that also. It has been set to "never". That doesn't seem to work either. i'm not sure that option has any effect anymore the option you are actually looking for is under "Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options" and the top dropdown is what you need to change Already done that also.

adrynalyne Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hmm, that works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 1, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted August 1, 2015 hmm yeah that is odd, it worked for me as well (was actually set to never by default on my laptop for some reason when i upgraded. i changed it back because i prefer putting in a password but it definitely worked when it was set to never) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If not working, reset your OS and and see if the problem gets solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This disables the password requirement, even from a cold boot or restart (but allows you to still have a password, which is required for networking)... Right Click on the Start Button > Click Run > Type control userpasswords2 Uncheck "Users must enter user name password to use this computer" Possibly not what you want, but that's all I've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abecedarian paradoxious Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Require password set under Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings ? Also, is "On resume, display logon screen" checked in Screen Saver Settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Click on the Start Button > Click Run > Type control userpasswords2 Uncheck "Users must enter user name password to use this computer" Possibly not what you want, but that's all I've got I used "netplwiz" to set auto login, which is the same thing as "control userpasswords2" Currently, Windows 10 boot directly to desktop (auto login), but when I put the computer to sleep and then back, I am asked to type the password. Require password set under Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings ? Also, is "On resume, display logon screen" checked in Screen Saver Settings? Both disabled. I' ve never had this issue until I've upgraded to Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) This seems to be a specific problem with my Surface Pro 3 and apparently doesn't happen on my laptop. When I press the power button on the Surface Pro 3, it goes into standby. When I press the power button again, it asks me for the password.

twjr Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I've got the same problem on a Dell Venue 8 Pro. Put all the settings to not requiring a password on boot or returning from sleep and still always asks for a password when returning from sleep. It is quite frustrating.

ArthurB. Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Same here with the Dell Venue 8 Pro, despite all the multitudinous places for the setting that I know of being set appropriately. The Surface Pro 2 I also use doesn't seem to have the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 This is annoying because I need to be able to unlock my tablet and take notes. The only workaround is to disable the lock screen entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detahx Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 [SOLVED] Idk if this helps anyone, but for months I've been trying to find a fix for this exact same problem. Whenever my Surface Pro 3 goes to sleep, it ALWAYS asks for a password, no matter how many password settings I disable via all the processes that people have posted online. Well I went to Settings>Accounts>Your Account and selected the link that says "Sign In With A Local Account Instead." I'm assuming it always required a password because it wanted to match my Outlook credentials. But when I hit that Local Account link, made a local account, and left the password fields blank, now it just lets me right in after Wake Up. For me this was the only thing that worked. And since my Outlook credentials were already saved on my tablet everywhere else, I didn't lose functionality to anything like the Store or e-mail. So now it works exactly like it's supposed to.
