By default, Windows will require you to sign in again after waking up from sleep mode. Your computer will automatically go to sleep after a certain amount of time, or if you have a laptop after closing the lid. Some of you may prefer not to be required to enter your password again every time you open your computer back up.
There's a setting in Windows specifically for this and it can easily be changed so your computer doesn't require sign-in every time.
We'll go over the steps for that here:
1. Right-click on the Start button, typically found at the bottom of the screen, and from the list of options, choose Settings.
2. In the Settings window that pops up, click on Accounts.
3. Click on Sign-in options.
4. Under additional settings, locate "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?"
By default, this will be set to "When PC wakes up from sleep", change this option to Never to disable the password prompt after sleep.
That's it! It will save this setting automatically after you switch it.
It can be changed back at any time by simply switching the drop-down to the other option.
