We often all want to close the laptop, but not by turning it off – so we use the sleep option. This way, you can wake up your system immediately instead of rebooting it, which takes longer. For security reasons, Windows prompts you by default to enter the user account password each time you wake up your system. We have already seen how to disable the sleep login function in Windows 8/7. In Windows 8.1, you can also disable the need for a password on waking from the’PC Settings’ screen and log in automatically. In Windows 10, you can do this via Settings > Accounts > Connection Options.
For your information only, if you are using a Microsoft account under Windows 8.1 and your PC is not connected to Internet, you can log in under Windows with the last password used. You can automatically connect to Windows 8.1 when you wake up using two of the options below:
Automatically connect to Windows 10 after falling asleep
