Disable require password on wakeup (Windows 10)


Recommended Posts

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

I already did that also. It has been set to "never". That doesn't seem to work either.

Already done that also.

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)

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 :)

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

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.

[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.

    • they will use your data anyways, this way you at least get to take advantage of it, might as well use it
    • I think its a great thing, whoever messes with my msgs is going to be real bored. Even those who dont trust meta, like myself, if the gains translate into an improved communication, easiness, everyone will use it. The alternative is not use Meta Whatsapp since they will AI your msgs an resume it anyways

    • Backpack Hero and Figment are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has just refreshed its weekly giveaways promotion, and there are two games up for grabs this time. Replacing the Sable freebie from last week, Backpack Hero and Figment have now landed for all PC gamers to claim. As always, you have seven days to add the latest indie game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. From the double giveaway, Backpack Hero comes in from indie developer Jaspel, offering a unique inventory management roguelike experience. Aside from collecting items to maximize the potential of a run, like with other roguelikes, here, your placement of the item in the backpack also matters. Each run offers randomly generated dungeons, enemies, and loot to grab. Next, Figment lands from Bedtime Digital Games. This isometric perspective action adventure game takes place in a surreal landscape with hand-drawn artwork, and everything is taking place inside a mind. You take the role of Dusty, the former voice of courage in the mind. The musical adventure involves trying to return Dusty to his old self while also helping the mind beat back its nightmares and restoring its original purpose. The Figment and Backpack Hero giveaways on the Epic Games Store are now active, and they will last until July 10. When not on sale, both games come in at $19.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add the duo to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. When the giveaways refresh next week, Epic Games plans on giving away two more games: the next musical adventure, Figment 2: Creed Valley, as well as the classic arcade-inspired shoot’em up Sky Racket.
