  2. Cannot change the require sign-in options in sign in options

    Hi Gerad,

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you regarding the change of Required sign-in options but in RED is stated that "authentication is required when this pc awake from sleep and security policies on PC are preventing to change
    settings". I will certainly assist you.

    Please answer the below question to assist you better.

    Did you make any changes in the power options of the system?

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + X and then click on
      Control Panel.
    • Click on the Power options.
    • Click on Required a password on Wakeup
    • In the Password protection on Wake up click on
      Don’t required password.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    I am not able to change the sign in options to require password once the laptop goes to sleep

    Unable to Change Required Sign-in when PC goes to sleep

    So, I go to Settings, then Account, then Sign-in Options. The very first item on this page is the Require Sign-in option. It does show an drop down that indicates "When PC wakes from Sleep", but it is greyed out and not able to be changed. A message indicates
    I need to go to Power & Sleep Options. So, I go back on Settings, the System, then Power & Sleep. There are only 2 options now on that page, Screen and Sleep allowing you to select time to turn off screen and for PC to go into sleep mode. On the right side
    of the screen is a link to go to Additional Power Settings. I select that and get into the Power Options, I am under the Balanced option. I then go to Change Plan Settings, but there is also nothing I see in there that allows me to Turn Off authentication
    required when PC wakes up from sleep.

    I have seen other users suggest changing the UAC if it is at the highest level as that may solve the problem. I have tried that and my setting is at the 2nd to highest level but am still encountering the same issue. Under Sign-in Options, there is a
    red message stating that "Authentication is required when this PC wakes from sleep. Security policies on this PC are preventing you from changing this setting". So I disabled the "Require a password when a computer wakes (on battery and plugged in) but am
    still getting the same problem. How do I fix this?? Please help.

    Thanks,

    David
