Remove Sign In Screen after screen wake.
Hi,
I have a problem that I cannot seem to overcome. I have a Windows 10 Pro (Version 1607) tablet device that I need to get rid of the sign in screen after the screen comes out of sleep. I have checked all the threads here that I think relate to the problem to no avail, but if I have missed any please accept my apology for duplicating.
The device has a local account set up with no password.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. I only want the screen itself to "go off" so I have disabled Connected Standby via the registry entry - HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CsEnabled ( 1 to 0 )
2. I have set the account sign in option to 'Never'
3. I have changed the Power Plan setting 'Require a password on wakeup'
4. I have tried the command line method to turn off the Require Sign-in on Wakeup option using;
powercfg /SETDCVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK 0
powercfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK 0
5. I have disabled the Require Sign-in on Wakeup for All Users in Local Group Policy Editor
6. I have changed the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Power\PowerSettings\0e796bdb-100d-47d6-a2d5-f7d2daa51f51 to 0 (disabled)
7. I have renamed the Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy folder in SystemApps
Despite all of the above I still have the "Sign In" screen after waking the screen. Which needs to be gone as the user of this device uses a specialized method to access the system (called eyegaze) with specialized software and cannot 'click' on the 'Sign In' button.
NB: I've blacked out the User name.
Is there any method that I have missed that would remove this log in requirement after a screen wake .. or can the screen on event be tracked?
Hope someone can help
Fug.
