    Password Strength/Requirements


    My company's password strength is set at EXCELLENT, I tried to update my password but the most I can do is STRONG. What are the requirements for my password to be considered EXCELLENT?

    :)

  2. Enable Require password on Wake up Windows 10

    To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest disabling and
    enabling
    the Require a password on wakeup settings on your power plan
    by following the steps below:

    • Open the Advanced power settings for your current chosen
      power plan
      .
    • Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link.
    • Set the Require a password on wakeup settings to Yes
      or No, and click on OK.

    Once done with the steps, let us know how it goes.

    Taskbar wifi connection strength

    Hi,

    To isolate the concern regarding the Wi-Fi strength icon, I would also suggest that we may need to update the network drivers of your computer. You may follow the steps provided earlier on this post. If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver.
    Here's how:

    • Open Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall.
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
    Let us know how it goes.
