Windows 11 Not Asking for Password on Wake from Sleep

For some reason, even after changing options in GPEdit, the OS refuses to ask me for a password when I wake the computer from sleep (without first locking the computer).

For context, the user account is a local user account.

I tried following the instructions from Claudeeera on another post (obviously enabling these options instead of disabling) to enable requiring a password from sleep. This didn't work even after a reboot.




Is there a way to tell Windows 11 that I want a password to be required when waking the computer from a sleep state (without having to first lock the computer, reveal the password screen, then select sleep)?

 

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

will not ask for password after sleep

I am trying to make W10 ask for my logon password after going to sleep. I went into the settings and clearly set it to ask for the logon after it has gone to sleep. I set it to sleep after 15 minutes and it does go to sleep , but shaking the mouse will wake the system without asking for the logon. Does anyone know why this happens?
