  1. Blocking anyone else from signing in


    So I'm running the latest Windows version on my laptop. My brother - who seems to be addicted to any type of electronic device - keeps getting desperate and tries to keep sneak use my laptop whenever I'm asleep or not there to be guarding it myself. I've already changed the password on my account, but it seems he's found a workaround by signing in with his email. My guess is that he's making alt accounts so he can use my pc - I've been in the Control Panel and found a second account created with his credentials on it. How do I stop him from making other accounts/signing in my laptop??? I use i

  2. password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.

    It's possible that Computer Management is being blocked by SmartScreen. We suggest disabling it and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

    1. Click the Start button.
    2. Type smartscreen in the search bar.
    3. Click Change SmartScreen settings.
    4. Click the drop-down arrow in the Security row.
    5. Click Change settings beneath the WindowsSmartScreen row.

    7. Click OK.
