    Windows 10 Home Security policies on t his PC are preventing you from changing this setting


    My computer purchased in April 2020 did not require a password except on re-start and allowed me to use a PIN. But today it said I had to change my password, which I did, and now it requires a password every time it goes to sleep and it will not let me change this as the selection box is greyed out. I really don't want a password for my home computer and I want to be able to change this situation.

    :)

    Authentication is required when this PC wakes from sleep. Security policies on this PC are preventing you from changing this setting?

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand the concern as you are having difficulties in printing from your PC.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

    • What is the Windows 10 Version and Build currently installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • What is the make and model of the PC and printer?
    • Is the PC connected to a domain/organization network?
    • Are you aware of any changes on the PC prior to this issue?
    • Does this happen only while adding or using the printer?
    • How is the printer connected? (Wireless/Wired)

    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to refer the steps as mentioned in this article:

      Disabled, click OK.
