Windows 10: Unable to turn off Secure Sign-in

I've been running Windows 10 at home for about a year now. From the beginning I've set it to go into sleep mode if left unattended for more than 20 minutes. When I come back I just click the mouse or hit the space bar and it wakes up and the sign-in window appears. Since the last Microsoft update on 14th Jan the sign-in window no longer appears. I have to press ctrl-alt-del to get the sign-in window.

On this forum a tutorial says that I need to disable the Secure Sign-in feature. I entered netplwiz in the run (win-R) window. The user accounts window came up but the "Require users to press ctrl-alt-del" checkbox is already unchecked.








What am I doing wrong? Is there some other setting that I need to change so that I don't have to keep pressing the ctrl-al-del buttons?

UNABLE TO TURN ON MY WINDOWS DEFENDER

my windows defender has turned off and I am unable to turn it on again. It says, it is turned off by group policy and to enable it contact your security administrator .

Hi Holt,

Go to https://account.microsoft.com/security, and sign in with your Microsoft account.

Select more security options

Under Two-step verification, choose turn off two-step verification to turn it off

Follow the instructions from there . . .

 

Hello Andy, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You might check using the other options in the tutorial below to see if you may have secure sign-in enabled in one of them instead.

Hi Brink,

Thanks for that. That's the tutorial I was referring to, tried everything on there and its all clear. My problem seems to only happen when coming out of sleep mode, which is a different problem so I've raised another thread.

Cheers,

 

Ok. Please let us know how it goes.
