No Sign-In After Sleep Windows 11 [SOLVED]

A similar thread from last year was locked, so I thought I would post my solution here.

I wanted Windows 11 to bypass any password, lock-screen, or sign-in, both at startup and when waking from sleep. "Require Sign-In" was missing from sign-in options, so I had to trick Windows. I am running Windows 11 Pro with a local account. Here is what I did to fix the issues:

No Sign-In After Sleep:

1. From start menu, got to "Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options," and click "Password."

2. Click "Add" and create a password. Note that once this step is complete, the hidden "Require Sign-in" option is revealed. You may have to close and re-open "Settings" if it doesn't appear immediately.

3. From same menu, click "Require Sign-in" and click "Never."

4. Go back to "Password" and select "Change." Do not enter a new password. Leave all spaces blank and confirm your blank password. This is equivalent to having no password. You may notice that the "Require Sign-in" option is hidden again. But do not fret, Windows remembers your "Never require sign-in" preference! Now windows should open from sleep and take you straight to where you left off with no interruption. This worked for me.

No Lock-Screen at Startup:

For this, I turned off the lock-screen by using the group policy editor. There is sufficient information available on this topic, so I will not write the steps here. Once these steps are followed, Windows boots straight to the desktop with no lock-screen interruption.

Hi John,

Since this is a new computer, settings may be on the default configuration. One of the option to configure the authentication requirement when the device wakes from sleep is through
Settings under Accounts. To be guided on this, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• 
  On the Search box, type
  Sign-in options and press Enter.
  
• 
  Under Required sign-in, click the drop down arrow and choose your
  preferred setup.
  
• 
  Once done, close the Settings window and check if the issue persists.
  

Let us know how it goes after performing the steps above.
