Windows 10: How to not require password after inactivity; only after sleep

I recently enabled the lock screen slideshow in Windows 10.
Every time my display turns off (after 2 minutes of inactivity), it goes back to the lock screen and I have to login again.
This issue is fixed by going to Settings-->Accounts-->Sign-in options and changing "require sign in" to never. However, this produces another issue since it means that it will not require a sign in when the computer awakes from sleep mode.

How do I not require a sign in when I awaken the computer from a turned-off display but require a sign in when I awaken the computer from sleep mode?

I tried going to Settings-->Lock Screen-->Advanced Slideshow Settings and turning off "when my PC is inactive, show lock screen instead of turning off the screen" but doing so had no effect.

Note: This issue only occurs when I set the lock screen to a slide show, not when it is set to Windows Spotlight or just a picture.

Thanks.

password and sleep

In windows 10, when i put the computer to sleep...it wakes up fine (no password required). However when windows goes into sleep by itself after inactivity, it always requires a password...even though NO password is required in control panel settings...I've
tried different power settings, etc to no avail. Any suggestions?

 

need to restart after a few minutesof inactivity

my windows 10 PC requires me to reenter my password after a few minutes of inactivity; that is , it goes to sleep.
