Windows 10: Bypass sign on screen

Computer returns from sleeping or hibernating and always return to sign on screen. I want it to go directly to last open application.

Bypass sign in screen - Surface 3, Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

I understand that you were able to bypass entering the username/password on the sign-in screen when you start the computer. You have tried most of the steps which is appreciated.

Does the computer asks you to enter the password after it wakes up from sleep?

We have reproduced the scenario. This is by design and we cannot bypass the screen the screen you mention.

 

Bypass sign in screen - Surface 3, Windows 10

I would like to bypass the log in screen that appears after the lock screen when I wake up my surface.

Steps I've taken:

- Switched to a local account with no password set

- used netplwiz and unchecked "Users must enter a name and password to use this computer"

- Made sure that "Don't require a password" is selected on the power options/system settings

When I start the surface from power off, it loads directly to the desktop. However if it is from sleep or when the screen times out (if those are different) the lock screen appears, then after that a sign in screen appears where I have to tap "Sign in" to
get to my desktop. I would like to bypass that second screen so after the lock screen it goes straight to my desktop.

 

Broken security by bypassing lock screen on restart

Question:

Why does Windows bypass the lock screen when it restarts after a Windows update? I consider this a security design flaw. If a maintenance crew came by my home while I'm at work to do some home renovation upgrades but they left the
front door unlocked when they finished, when I got home I'd wonder what on Earth they were thinking. I hope I've just missed a setting somewhere to disable this.

Three things I accept:

1. Locking my computer to protect my privacy.

2. Windows restarting after an update.

3. Windows automatically updating, which is frustrating but acceptable.

But I don't accept Windows bypassing the lock screen after an update.

Precondition:

Windows 10 is set up to require a password at sign in, both on startup and on the lock screen.

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Lock the computer.

Step 2: Leave the room.

Step 3: Wait for Windows to perform an automatic system update.

Step 4: Windows restarts automatically.

Problem 1: Windows bypasses the lock screen, instead signing in and showing the desktop.

Problem 2: Come home and book a doctor's appointment to deal with the stress of seeing my computer unlocked.
