I have a Toshiba Encore tablet, I updated today to Windows 10, even I turn off the password requirement after wake-up, when I leave the tablet for a couple of minutes, turning it back on, it always requires for the password.
What should I do to turn the password requirement off?
I managed to eliminate the password requirement when starting up and restarting but I haven't figured out how to do it when the computer wakes from "sleep". Is there a way to do that?
View 2 RepliesSo every time my surface pro 3 running windows 10 goes to sleep and I come back to it and try and wake it, it asks me to type in my password. I have set the option buried in the settings, to not require a password after waking it from sleep. But it continues to ask me to sign in every time. How can I get in to my computer without using a password every 10 minutes? I don't understand this. with windows 8.1 I was able to just swipe up from the wake screen without a password but now I always have to type in a password.
View 19 RepliesI have "Never" set as the option in then "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?" in the new Settings menu.
I have "Don't require a password" selected in the Control Panel Power Options.
Surface 3 sleep and screen shut off are both set to 3 minutes on battery power. Before Windows 10 the option to sleep wasn't there as I recall, as screen shut off and sleep were the same thing on that system.
I've done a restart, yet every time it wakes from sleep I have to enter my account password. Why is something this simple not working?
I sign into my Surface 3 using a Microsoft Account.
How to remove the e-mail account from Windows 10, or how to disable the sign in requirement.
I followed the instructions but it did not work.
I would like to be able to access my computer without signing in every time. How do I disable the sign-in requirement?

View 1 RepliesOk so i am furious with Micro$oft now! the other day i was FORCED to change my microsoft account after much nagging i did so and i dont like changing logins too much. (this was a week ago)
now for some random reason on earth without my permission my windows login also changed login passwords to the microsoft account. I DONT WANT THAT! that password is too long and complicated for someone who locks his computer every 5 minutes or so. why did this just kick in now? i changed M$ account pass over a week ago and today it decides to change windows login?! can i change JUST my local windows login separate from microsoft login?
if i try to change pass from settings it it goes online and says you cant use password that has been used before.
after an update at starting, tablet laptop start gives picture/clock screen, that slides to the password screen but when password block is touched on screen or mouse clicked the screen flips back to the picture/clock ... how to deal with this kind of lock out that the typing box won't open and loops to clock screen? have turned off for an hour to see if that does it..but if not...would restarting into a repair or recovery be possible fix...i have never been able to get into safe mode without being logged in but have gotten into recovery during a restart which made me wonder if entering a recovery during boot and reversing the upgrade was possible if all else fails...

View 1 RepliesI choose SLEEP and my PC goes to sleep, and there is a light on front of my PC Unit that flashes.
But I can't wake Windows 10 up. I tried pressing all buttons on mouse and keyboard, nothing happens ...
I downloaded windows 10 yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine. However, every time I shut my computer, it's supposed to go into sleep mode from which a shake of the mouse will wake it. It is indeed going to sleep, but I can't wake it through any interaction with the mouse or keyboard. The power light is still on, indicating that the computer is sleeping, but I can't get it to wake up. I have had to hold the power button to turn it off and then on and I'm pretty sure that's terrible for my computer to not shut down properly.

I have been unable to get Wake on LAN functionality to work in Windows 10:
I am attempting to do a Wakeup on LAN to my desktop computer which is running Windows 10 from my laptop which is also running Windows 10. The desktop computer is connected to my router through a wired Ethernet connection and the laptop is connected to the same router via a wireless connectionI'm doing this within my Local Area Network so I'm not going through a router from the external networkI've upgraded the driver on my network adapter to the latest versionI've enabled all the required functionality in the BIOS to enable Wake on LANI've turned on all the required settings in my network adapter to enable Wake on LANI've disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows 10I'm using the "Wake on LAN" software application from Aquila TechnologyThe software is installed on both my desktop and laptop and I've tested it with the desktop in "listening" mode and verified that the desktop receives "magic" wake-up packets when it is up-and-runningWhen my desktop system is powered down and I send it a Magic Packet in exactly the same way as I did when it was powered up, nothing happens and it doesn't respond to the wake-up packet
I have Windows 10 on my laptop - have for about a month. I installed their updates a couple of days ago, and since then, when my laptop goes to sleep, it won't wake up! When i open the top, the power light is lit, like it normally would, but nothing! Just a black screen So I have to hold the the power button down for a reset, and it has to completely reboot before I can use it again. Apart from this being frustrating as all hell, and time consuming, I am worried that I am going to damage my laptop doing this constantly. How do I fix this?

View 2 RepliesI was planning on doing a script that behaves differently depending on which wake source type waking up my system from hibernate. Im abled to differentiate between timer wake-up and mouse/keyboard wake-up, but not between mouse/keyboard and wake on magic packets. "Powercfg -lastwake" doesnt give sufficient info on hibernation wake sources. Using standby instead there is more info but there seem to be a problem.
Mouse/keyboard wake-ups and wake on magic packets both reports the network card as wake source type. That is clearly messed up, which makes it impossible to use standby altogether. I do prefer hibernate though. Its very hard to find info going deeper into this subject in order to get answers. Most topics just scratches the surface discussing issues with unwanted wake-ups, which I dont have. How retrieval of wake sources works and how to implicate lastwake/wake source results?

I cannot wake up my pc from sleep mode in windows 10.
View 1 RepliesAfter an upgrade to Windows 10, my HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor will not wake up properly from sleep. After sleep, if I press a key on the keyboard or press the power button, I hear the fan and hard drive start up, and the monitor goes from completely off to on yet black. (I can see a small difference, and the monitor reports that it receives a signal.) But nothing happens, including when I press various key combinations such as those which would cause rebooting. Sometimes my mouse pointer is visible but usually not. If so, the pointer will not move. If I hold down the power button, killing the power supply, and the press the power button again, the computer wakes up (not rebooting) to the condition it was before.
As a history, this machine had a clean Windows 7 install, then a Windows 10 upgrade, then a Windows 10 clean install.
[I have a vague memory that the computer originally went to sleep and woke up OK a few times, and now doesn't. However, my memory could be wrong.]
I have tried:
* all Windows updates
* using HP website for all relevant updates, including BIOS
* display adapter (graphics card) update
* Windows Power Usage Troubleshooter
* turning hibernation off and on again in the command line (powercfg /h off and on)
PC wakes every night at 11:36. I have disabled the wake for anything feature and I cannot figure this out. Based on settings its not supposed to wake up. Is there something buried that I need to change or is this just a win 10 flaw?
View 1 RepliesI recently upgraded from windows 8.1 pro to 10 pro using the media tool. I've run in to some issues here and there, fixed some, but one i cannot figure out involves the system powering on after a crash.
Usually when i am not using my rig i put it in hibernate(which i had to add to the start menu in 10). for the first day or so this was not an issue. however now when i wake it, this is what happens. My mobo splash shows, and the black windows 10 load screen with the windows logo shows up, but before the spinning dots start, the system just powers down. i hit the power button, and it will load properly, though snail slow compared to 8.
Thing is, it always does this on first boot. It doesn't matter if I am waking from hibernate, or sleep, or had actually shut down and am booting cold. but it will always start after that, so far at least.
It also takes quite awhile to boot. with 8 i could wake from hibernate in a matter of seconds, maybe 30 seconds from cold boot. its much slower than that now, often sitting at black screens between the windows load and green load, or the green load and login, or login and desktop. I am uncertain if the slow load is related to the boot crash.
I hear the computer turn back on and the light is on, but the screen is still black. My mouse and keyboard are unresponsive (can't turn backlight on). I have to do a hard shut down. When it's back on, it's like it woke up from sleep mode, not a fresh restart.
This just started happening today I think so I did a system restore, but the problem persists. The only thing I remember doing today was updating my ATI drivers.
