However, if you’re sure that nobody will try to use your notebook without your permission, you can disable the password prompt.Īs a side note, some laptops have a fingerprint reader or an infra-red camera supporting Windows Hello face-recognition sign-in. Please note that the password prompt after sleep is a security feature to prevent other people from accessing Windows, programs, and files on your laptop. The next time your laptop wakes up from sleep mode, it will directly show Windows Desktop, without any password required.
On the Sign-in options window, under Require sign-in and the question “If you’ve been away, when should Windows require you to sign-in again?”, select Never from the drop-down box.
You can reach the Sign-in options window manually via Settings or by typing Sign-in options in Windows Search (lower-left corner of the screen, search icon). To do that, go to Windows Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options window. Thankfully, you can disable the password prompt that appears after your Windows 10 laptop resumes from sleep.
Having to type-in your password every time your laptop PC wakes up from the sleep mode can be annoying.
