Windows 10: Windows Only Asks For Authentication On Reboot?

Hi Everyone,For a while now, my Windows 11 install on my laptop only asks for Windows Hello authentication when I reboot my machine. If I do a cold boot, it logs in by itself.The machine is set up to require authentication at all times. I have no idea why it does this. Can anyone help?Thanks!

Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

Cheers.

   • Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and configure the primary authentication method if not already done.
     
4. Configure Second Authentication Layer:

By following these steps, you should be able to set up your custom face recognition software as a second authentication method after logging into Windows.

 

How To Create Two Factor Authentication for Remote Desktop

Hello artmanphoto, are you using the built in remote software that comes with windows 10 ?
I too use remote software, so can i suggest you change to one of the following.
Because the remote software that comes with windows is very insecure.

Anydesk
To use 2 step authenticator with anydesk go here

Teamviewer
To use 2 step authenticator with teamviewer go here


Splashtop
To use 2 step authenticator with splashtop go here


Radmin
Does not have 2 step authentication as far as i know.
But it does have IP Filter, very high security.

All 4 have very high security,
Anydesk, Splashtop & teamviewer all have so you can add two factor authentication with google authenticator.
Personally i prefer radmin

* Had to add Anydesk to my suggestion because it's just to good to leave out *
