Hi,
I am tired of typing a password every 3 minutes.
The 3 options are not working, they have no effect, what ever I choice I am always asked for a password.
In my the Power Plan there is missing that Option of the Password setting.
The other 2 have no effect.
Please, how do I change it, I am tired of typing my password every 3 minutes!

 

Hello Adalwar, *Smile

This doesn't sound like a require password on wakeup issue since it's that often, and you didn't mention it happening when the computer wakes from sleep. Instead, it sounds like a require password on resume from screensaver issue.

As a test, make sure you have the On resume, display logon screen box unchecked in your Screen Saver Settings at step 10 in the tutorial below.

Hello Brink,
Thank you for the answer.
No, I do not have a Screen Saver , it is disabled.
I am working at 2 Machines at the same time, and because preventing "LCD burning and Battery saving" I keep short times in the Power Plan.
Anyway, the Settings that offered by the OS (Blue Hell) are NOT working as they should.
I know I can totally disable the Password Log-On but I need to have it enabled otherwise I get no access to other Computer in the Network.
At the end, because I have short setting times , I have always to enter the Password. I am full of it and really tired of that Little Cat Games.
And it seems that the Time-Out settings in Power Plan are not working as they should.

 

Are you sure that you are not referring to password protection for sharing since this is to access another computer on the network?

If so, then you can set to "Remember by credentials" to not have to enter them each time you try to access a shared file on the other computer.

Hi Brink,
Thank you for Helping me.
Well, what I am complaining about is the Password request after Waking up from the Sleep mode. In settings, I choice the option "Never" but it keep asking me the password.
Also, I tried choice the "After 15 Minutes" option (at least something) but it has no effect.
About the Network Sharing PW, so far I know, I have to maintain the User Account Password otherwise the other People on the Network can not acess the PC, there is coming the Credentials Window and without the PW , no access.

 

Please go ahead and post a screenshot showing the "After 15 Minutes" option to see what that is.

Did you double check all options on the first page to see if it set to "Never" in all of them?

 

In my Power Plan I do not have the PW options.

 

Do you have OPTION THREE available?

As a test, set Window to automatically sign in to your account at startup just to rule this out, then see if it continues.

I have had checked the option 3 since the beginning , it has been always disabled. I have checked it many times. Now I checked it again and it was enabled!
There are happening strange things here, one day things are working, the next they are not working any longer, that in relation to the Software iÍ have developed. I am getting suspicious, seems someone is tracking and changing things remotly.
Any way, option 3 is not working, the settings have aparently no effect.
I went to the Registry and changed the Automaticaly Log On , but has also no effect, it keeps asking me the PW after a Wake Up.
So, there is nothing to do, I will keep typing the PW until my fingers are bleeding because of the guys at MS.

 

I must admit that I'm not sure why it keeps requiring a password if you have it set to never. *Confused

 

Hi Brink,
Thank you very much for trying to help me.
I just found the Problem:
I am running Windows all the time (I must for several reasons) with the "Intellectually Disabled Protection" turned off (EnableLUA=0). Turning it on (=1) then the settings are working. That is very funny.
In my over 30 years computer experience I have never faced such a huge nosense that "Security" of Blocking everything. The Kids at Linux are very pround of it, but that is the reason why I don´t want to have Linux on my PC. All the time asking for PW , that is boring,irritating and for NOTHING, and every single file is locked und you have be an expert to unlock your own files.

 

Odd. Thank you for posting back with your finding.

 

Is there a Registry setting for Option #1?

 

Hello Russ, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

There is, but it's to specific to include in the tutorial since it's based on the current active power plan.
