    How to avoid password query on wakeup

    Hello,

    I noticed that several people asked similar questions but I don't have the feeling that my situation is the same.

    My problem occurs on a computer that was clean installed with the Anniversary Edition of Windows 10 (I resorted to

    that after the DATA MIGRATION step of the update failed). In the previous version of Windows 10 the Control Panel

    item Power Options opened a panel with certain options listed on the left, the first of which was "Require a password

    on wakeup". This option is apparently missing in my version of Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Can someone help me

    turn of password query on wakeup?

    Regards,
