    When I first got my PC it used to require a password after the display timed out not sleep....


    Title, basically. I know how to require a password on wakeup from sleep, but specifically I want my PC to, after the display times out, require a password upon resuming. I've googled all over and the only results I get back have to do with sleep.

    :)
