Windows 10: Password protected windows 10 will not sign me in after update?

After I get a update on windows 10, I cannot sign into my computer. I sometimes have to change my password but this time it gave me another drive to find my password on. I upgraded my friends computer also and the same problem.

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

Before proceeding, we need to know whether you are using Microsoft/Local account to sign in to Windows 10.

If you are using Microsoft account to login to Windows 10, there is no option to disable the password and sign in to Windows 10 directly without entering password.

  settings menu.
  
• 
  Click on Accounts.

  Click on Sign in options.

  Click on Change under Change your account password.
  
• 
  Enter your current password and leave the other two files for new password as empty and close the windows by clicking on
  OK button.
  
• 
  Sign out and try to sign in again and check.
  

Step 2:

You may also create the 4 digit PIN which will reduce your time to enter full password. Follow the below steps.

  Press Windows + I keys to open
  settings menu.

  Click on Accounts.

  Click on Sign in options.

  Click on Add under PIN.

  Follow the onscreen instructions to create Pin.

  Sign out and try to sign in again using PIN as your Sign in option.
