Windows 10: Laptop Lenovo, Windows 11 stopped asking for password after "waking" from sleep

Hello,I have a Lenovo laptop, Windows 11. All of a sudden it stopped asking password when "waking" from sleep. All settings are correct. I even tried some commands from the "run" command. How do I fix this?

Windows 11 Not Asking for Password on Wake from Sleep

For some reason, even after changing options in GPEdit, the OS refuses to ask me for a password when I wake the computer from sleep (without first locking the computer).

For context, the user account is a local user account.

I tried following the instructions from Claudeeera on another post (obviously enabling these options instead of disabling) to enable requiring a password from sleep. This didn't work even after a reboot.




Is there a way to tell Windows 11 that I want a password to be required when waking the computer from a sleep state (without having to first lock the computer, reveal the password screen, then select sleep)?

Gotcha dalchina. I did as suggested from the link you left. Still does not ask for password on wake. So far nothing has worked.

 

Task Scheduler Not Waking Home Use Windows 11 From Sleep

Hi!

I'm trying to make Task Scheduler follow a schedule to:

1. Wake my laptop
   
2. Open Thunderbird.exe
   
3. Bring Thunderbrid.exe to the foreground
   

Problem

• The scheduled task only runs after I manually wake my laptop from sleep
  
  (Not sure if related to the root cause of the issue: Sometimes the Windows Clock App opens as I manually wake my laptop from sleep. When this happens, the Clock App launches before Thunderbird.exe)
  
• Task Scheduler's history tab has no logs for scheduled tasks that were missed because the laptop didn't wake up
  

Steps I Took

• Restart laptop
  
• Run power troubleshooter
  
• Update virtual network adapter enumerator
  
• Disable hibernation
  
• Disable fast start-up
  
• Make sure the maintenance schedule does not clash with the task's schedule
  
• Make sure Power Options - Sleep - Allow wake timers - Both Enabled
  
• Make sure Windows updates are up to date
  
• Make sure the scheduled task is viewable on powercfg -waketimers
