    Windows 10 Password suddenly required


    Suddenly I have to sign into Windows each time I turn on desktop PC. First it says password is not valid, then I choose my personal windows icon and type in the password. Why do I have to sign in each time when before I did not have to?

    :)

  2. Password suddenly required to start computer

    I have been using Windows 10 for over a year (OS build 14393.693) and never set up a password since the computer is in my home and I'm the only user. Suddenly, two days ago, I'm required to have a password to log on. I was able to get in using my Microsoft
    account login. I've read the various suggestions from one or two years ago, such as typing "netplwiz" and unchecking the "users must enter..." box. This did not solve the problem. I do
    not want to use a password or PIN. I tried a system restore, but it failed. Here are my questions:

    1. Was there a recent Microsoft update that has suddenly required this login?

    2. How can I revert back to not needing a password or PIN to open my computer?

    3. If I have to log in with a Microsoft account password, does that mean Microsoft has access to my computer?

    Thanks.

  3. Enable Require password on Wake up Windows 10

    To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest disabling and
    enabling
    the Require a password on wakeup settings on your power plan
    by following the steps below:

    • Open the Advanced power settings for your current chosen
      power plan
      .
    • Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link.
    • Set the Require a password on wakeup settings to Yes
      or No, and click on OK.

    Once done with the steps, let us know how it goes.
