Windows 10: New PC Windows 11 - Drive, Sign-In and Wake-up Configuration Questions.

Its always been my understanding that the ideal PC configuration would be to have OS, Programs and Data segregated from each other by partitions or physical drives. How would I accomplish that?Current setup, new Windows 11 PC has a new 1TB SSD Drive C. I was planning to use two of my SSDs from my legacy Windows 10 Pro PC, one for Programs and another for Data. But how do I configure Windows so when I click Windows File Explorer existing Quick access icons e.g.: Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Mu

Sign in screen on Windows 10 won't show up after wake up

Hi Imad,

Your PC might be set to Never when requiring to sign-in after it wakes from sleep. To enable password login after waking Windows 10 from sleep, follow the steps below:

• Click on Start (Windows icon).
• Go to Settings (gear icon).
• Select Accounts, go to SIgn-in options.
• Make sure When PC wakes up from sleep is selected instead of
  Never under Require sign-in.

Try to put your PC to sleep then wake it up to check if it will now prompt you to log in.

Get back to us if there's anything else, we'll be glad to help!

 

Windows 11 Pro starts Microsoft Edge on every wake

This is so annoying and I can't make it stop. I have tried many things to no avail.

I am on latest Windows 11 Pro Public release: 22000.493

So far I've tried:

• Reseting Edge
  
• Disabling "Startup Boost" on Edge
  
• Disabling the Windows setting that restores my apps after restart or wake
  
• Disabling the Windows setting that automatically signs me in after every update
  
• Disabling Spotlight on Windows settings.
  
• Refreshing Windows 11 (without losing data)
  

This did not happen in Windows 10. Will a complete reinstall of the OS fix this? I do not want to clean install Windows and run into the same issue again. I just don't.

This only happens when waking up from keyboard! Waking up from power button or mouse does not bring up edge. Finally, I also have automatic sign in configured so I do not type password when waking the pc up.
