2 Ways to Stop Windows 10 from Asking for Password after Sleep

October 14th, 2016 by Admin Leave a reply »

How do I stop windows 10 from asking for a password when waking up from sleep? In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 simple ways to disable being prompted for password when your Windows 10 PC wakes up from Hibernate / Sleep.

Method 1: Disable Windows 10 Require Sign-in on Wakeup from Settings

In previous versions of Windows, you can turn off require a password on wakeup from Control Panel. In Windows 10, this option is moved to the Settings app. Follow these steps:

  1. Open Settings app by clicking its icon in Start menu or pressing Windows logo + I keyboard shortcut.

  2. Click on Accounts.

    accounts-settings

  3. Click Sign-in options in the left hand side, and then select Never for the “Require sign-in” option if you want to stop Windows 10 from asking for password after it wakes up from sleep.

Method 2: Disable Windows 10 Require Sign-in on Wakeup Using Group Policy

  1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type gpedit.msc in the Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
  2. In the left pane, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Sleep Settings.
  3. In the right pane, you’ll see two policies labeled “Require a Password when the computer wakes (plugged in)” and “Require a Password when the computer wakes (on battery)“. Double-click on them to modify and set the policies to Disabled.

  4. Reboot your computer for the policies to take effect. Windows 10 should never require a password the next time your PC wakes up from sleep.

Note: The Local Group Policy Editor is not available in Windows 10 Home. But you can add Local Group Policy Editor by following this method: How to Add Group Policy Editor to Windows 10 Home.
