Windows 10: Windows 10/11 asks to sign in into Microsoft account almost after every sleep

So, after every sleep my laptop asks me a pin-code that's ok, but after that in most cases I see a notification where OS asks me to sign in into Microsoft account. And it happens again and again, especially if the laptop was in the sleep for a long period e.g. the night, or 5+ hours. Sometimes it happens every day after every sleep, but sometimes I do not have this issue a few days. One more thing, when it happens all my MS apps are signed out One drive, Edge... or ask to sign in.I've had this issue since 2022.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Sign in with a Microsoft account instead

Hello Wally, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

It sounds like this is at step 7 in the tutorial below where it's asking you to enter your local account's password one last time.

How to get rid of stupid "Sign in" screen for real in Win10 ?

I have Admin account plus limited user Microsoft account. Windows 10 asks for sign in because of two accounts. netplwiz has always worked for me.

1) highlight the account you want to automatically log in.
2) Check the box to automatically log in.
3) Click Apply then OK.
4) It will pop up a box asking for the credentials to automatically sign in. If Windows account, enter the obvious. If it is a Microsoft account, enter your full email address for username and the Microsoft account password for the password. Click OK.
5) Reboot computer, it should automatically sign into the given account.

You'll have to disable sign out on sleep/resume too as mentioned above. First thing I do is disable sleep so I've never had to deal with that.
