    My laptop with Windows 10 doesn't require password whenever it comes back from sleep even though it has been set as a requirement.

    Original Title - Password

    My laptop with Windows 10 doesn't require password whenever it comes back from sleep even though it has been set as a requirement.

    • Control Panel/Power options/Require a password when the computer wakes/Change settings that are currently unavailable/Require a password/Save changes
    • Settings/Accounts/Sign-in option/ Require sign in/When PC wakes up from sleep
    I've tried these many times with a restart after set up but still doesn't work.

    Is there a solution?

    To assist you with your concern, you may refer to the steps below on how to skip password prompt after sleep:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign-in options.
    • Choose Never from the drop-down menu under Require sign-in to complete the task.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    How do I set up so that my laptop will need to require me to sign in after sleep

    Require sign-in when waking Windows 10 laptop from sleep.

    I am having trouble getting my Widows 10 laptop to require a sign-in when I open the lid. It is set to go to sleep when I close the lid. And it is also set to require a sign-in when it wakes up.

    On another settings page it is set to "Never" go to sleep when plugged in, but I assume that is after a period of inactivity. The same setting on another Windows 10 laptop still allows sleep when the lid is closed--and requires a password when it is opened.

    But on my Dell, I close the lid and return an hour later, touch the keypad, and my desktop appears, already logged in. Is it possible that it is not actually in sleep mode when I assume that it is?

    Any ideas?
