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.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Disable Windows 10 Require Sign-in on Wakeup from Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Click on Accounts<\/strong>.\n

    \"accounts-settings\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

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

    Method 2: Disable Windows 10 Require Sign-in on Wakeup Using Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

      \"require-password-when-wakup\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Note:<\/strong> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
