Windows 10: How do I enable "Require sign-in" from Every Time to Never?!

Just updated from 1909 to 2004 and have run into this issue. Before I could set to never so if my laptop went to sleep I could simply wake and resume. Now it's grayed out on "Every Time" and I have to scan my finger.

Apparently Windows Hello is preventing this although I'd still prefer to use the biometric scanner over keying in a password at login. I don't see any options in my power settings on how to handle wake either.

Enable Require password on Wake up Windows 10

Hi Maaz,

Since you have already tried lots of troubleshooting steps already, what we can recommend is enabling it through the
Command Prompt. To enable the Require sign-in option when Windows 10 wakes up, kindly follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key, type "command prompt", right-click
  Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
• To enable the sign-in option while your device is running on battery, copy and paste this command and press
  Enter: powercfg /SETDCVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK 1.
• Restart your computer.

Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with Windows.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
