  1. Bypass Win 10 Lock Screen


    Win 10 gpedit "Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization" does not show Personalization. I want to bypass / eliminate lock screen. Have tried entry in Register, doesn't consistently work.

    :)

    Broken security by bypassing lock screen on restart

    Question:

    Why does Windows bypass the lock screen when it restarts after a Windows update? I consider this a security design flaw. If a maintenance crew came by my home while I'm at work to do some home renovation upgrades but they left the
    front door unlocked when they finished, when I got home I'd wonder what on Earth they were thinking. I hope I've just missed a setting somewhere to disable this.

    Three things I accept:

    1. Locking my computer to protect my privacy.

    2. Windows restarting after an update.

    3. Windows automatically updating, which is frustrating but acceptable.

    But I don't accept Windows bypassing the lock screen after an update.

    Precondition:

    Windows 10 is set up to require a password at sign in, both on startup and on the lock screen.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Step 1: Lock the computer.

    Step 2: Leave the room.

    Step 3: Wait for Windows to perform an automatic system update.

    Step 4: Windows restarts automatically.

    Problem 1: Windows bypasses the lock screen, instead signing in and showing the desktop.

    Problem 2: Come home and book a doctor's appointment to deal with the stress of seeing my computer unlocked.

    It's my first post in the community so suggestions about posting etiquette are welcome.

    Bypass lock screen after sleep


    New Dell Inspiron running W10 1607 HOME needs to have lock screen bypassed when awakening from sleep.
    Virtually every suggested tweak in various forums has been tried. None succeeds.

    Netplwiz: unchecking the "users must use" box
    Power Options: there are no references to "password after sleep" as shown in some posts
    Registry: adding "personalization" with DWord 1
    There is no gpedit policy editor in this version of Windows

    Has something been missed?
