Win10 wake from sleep bypass sign in

That could be it. Unfortunately, on mine the choice to not require it is grayed out. I suspect that is because I do not have a password established.

OTOH, if OP does have a password, maybe he can try that and report back.

That sounded good. I feel the same as OP. But, what you offered above does not exist on mine. When I select sign in options, here is what I get. Maybe I don't see your choice because I don't use a password.

Use the "add" button to add a password to the account and then use the PIN option so your sign in is only a 4 digit number. Once you have a password setup you will find the "never" option.

This is the screen I want to bypass. As I said before I have already bypassed the login screen but when it wakes up from sleep I still need to click the sign in button to go to the destop

When you go to Settings, Account,Sign in options is the first option "Require Sign In, If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again? "

That eliminates having to sign in after sleeping.

its in the 'system' 'power and sleep' 'related settings' 'require password on wakeup' settings.

Thanks, but everything so far suggested is not the problem or answer. Its not the login screen thats the problem. I currently dont have to login screen and already have done the 'never' part. its when it goes to slepp and waked up there is still a button that says 'sign in' that I need to click then it takes me to the desktop.

Of course this may not be what you want with the computer never going to sleep - means it will stay on screen all the time... I selected 'NEVER' for all those questions in the menu...

On the logon screen we used to always use the "Enter Key" as password then all you had to do was just hit the Enter key when logging in...

Probably not a good idea these days as it isn't very hard to take over someones computer on-line so you will lose any security level you may want to have. I don't even want the Microsoft Company snooping around either...

Same here I just set the password as enter key. Also you can set the going to sleep for a longer time.

Are you talking about "sign in" to your local PC account or your Microsoft account?

I never sign into my Microsoft account.

I just select 'NEVER' go to sleep like ReadyToGo shows.
