Windows 10: Windows 10 Ignoring setting of "No Sign In Required"

Window 10 Home Version 1803 OS Build 17134.523

This desktop always plugged in

This is the first operating system installed on the PC new hardware.

There is only one account on the PC: administrator.

I've been to: Settings\SignIn Options

I have checked all my power settings to insure that sign in options are set to never

I have the settings set to never sleep.


Any help would be appreciated

Windows 10 ignoring the "require sign-in" setting

Hello,

after installing Windows 10 on my tablet, i have noticed that windows asks me for my account-password (or PIN) every time I want to unlock or wake the device. Sadly, windows ignores all settings to not require a password on wake such as:

- require sign-in setting in Accounts -> Sign-In options (set to "Never", but also ignores every other setting)

- Require Password on wake-up in Power Options -> Edit plan Settings -> Advanced settings (set to "no" for both battery and plugged in)

- Password protection on wake-up in Power-Options -> System settings (set to "Don't require a password")

- netplwiz (unchecking the box disables the sign-in after booting, after that, windows still wants a password on wake)

Any information regarding settings i might have missed would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Dom

 

Windows 10 Ignoring setting of "No Password Required"

I have signed in using my local account. When I go to "settings\accounts\your email and accounts" it shows my account name and
Local Account and status Administrator. There is an option below for "Sign in with Microsoft account
instead". I have never selected that option, so I assume given the above that I am signing in using the local account.

I have read the article you provided a link to and tried what it suggests, with the minor variations required for Windows 10, and it does not resolve the issue.

Note I was using the PC with no requirement for a password sign-in for roughly a month. I started getting the "....recommend changing password. Your password will expire in x days" message on start-up. I ignored the message as I was under the impression
my local account did not have a password. The "x" days finally ran out and I was required to enter a password on the next start-up. The settings still shows no requirement for a password. But if I shut down and reboot I am required to enter a password.

The link you provided does not resolve the issue.

Any further suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Ignoring setting of "No Password Required"

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've tried the suggestions from Amit, checked out the link he provided but no luck. Windows 10 still insists on having a password. There is only one account on the PC. It has administrator rights. Every setting
I can find for passwords is set to no password required, yet Windows 10 requires a password when signing on to the local account.

Suggestions please.
