SWharton Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have a new laptop(2-3 weeks) and recently an upgrade from MS was done, I assume the W10 Anniversary update. Since then I am always asked for a password on wakeup(?). I have unchecked the box in User Accounts so that a password is not required but it still wants a password. Prior to the update this all worked as advertised. Does anyone know how to get rid of the password requirement? Is it a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I don't want any sign in of any type. Until the last update this was any option, now I can't get that option to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWharton Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Per my initial note I have unchecked that and it does not stop the signin. This is a new problem to me since the last upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark and Dale Bruss Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 When you unchecked the box, a popup of the username and password should appear. You enter that information and you do not need to log-in from a boot up. From a locked screen condition, you still need to enter a username/password or Pin (my preference).

SWharton Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I did that 2-3 weeks ago and everything was working fine. I had at least one update, maybe 2 and still things worked. The update that occurred this week caused it to stop working. Maybe I should recheck it, reboot, uncheck it and reboot. Might clear up what is wrong.I didn't think an update would change any of my changes.....................It really shouldn't without notifying you.

SWharton Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well I guess I didn't survive. I just checked the box, rebooted, unchecked the box, rebooted again. Seems to have solved the problem.I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docj Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Since then I am always asked for a password on wakeup(?). If I take the OP at her word that her problem is password on wakeup and not password on bootup, then I don't believe any of the previous posts have addressed it. Password on wakeup has always been addressed through Control Panel/Power Options/System Settings as shown in the attached screenshot. If this isn't the OP's problem then this advice will not help her.

SWharton Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I had everything checked off in all locations for no password and a password was still required. After I rechecked everything and booted, unchecked and booted everything cleared up. Also, other odd things cleared up also. Other odd things: Every time I opened Explorer it would open my DVD drive; something called Software Assist(I think that was the name) stopped popping up; PC just being unresponsive cleared up; gave me a choice at logon to use my microsoft id and password vs. my pc password. Does anyone know if there is a way to schedule these updates so they are only done overnight? Annoys me that I hop on to do something minor and an update takes over and ties up my machine.
