Windows 10: Activate password request after standby
If you only put your computer into standby mode, Windows 10 no longer requires a password after starting. You must first reactivate the query. We'll tell you how in our practical tip.
After standby: Switch on password request under Windows 10
- Start the Settings app via the Start menu or the key combination [Windows] + [I].
- Then click on the "Accounts" entry and switch to the "Registration options" tab.
- Under "Login required" click on "Never" and select the option "When PC is in standby mode" from the drop-down menu.
- Your settings are automatically adopted. Windows 10 now also requires a password when you restore the system from standby.
