Windows 10: How to prevent Windows 10 Pro 64-bit from changing the 'Require sign-in' option under the...

Hello everyone,


I searched for this issue but was unable to find any posted enquiry. I have a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit laptop that keeps changing the 'Require sign-in' option from 'When PC wakes up from sleep' to 'Never'. This is a constant concern for me because since this is a laptop I often use it in public places so I may need to engage the laptop to sleep or hibernate while being away. Sometimes, unbeknownst to me, the laptop can wake up and log into Windows without the necessary password, i.e., anyone can access the laptop from sleep/hibernation simply by pushing the power button. I would have to literally reset the 'Require sign-in' to 'When PC wakes up from sleep' in order to maintain security.


I searched the internet for this issue, but have not across anyone having same issues. I would greatly appreciate any sharing of information to I can keep my Windows properly locked up.


Thank you.

:)

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  What is the name of the game?
  

If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
us.



For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)
