Laptop Displays Lock Screen After I Wake Up The Display

Hello. I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 Pro 20H2. It displays the lock screen after I wake up the display. I want it to go right back to my desktop instead of the lock screen.

Here are my power settings.


As you can see, I've set "Turn off the display" to 10 minutes and "Put the computer to sleep" to never, but my laptop still displays the lock screen.

Can you please help me get my laptop to go right back to the desktop after I wake up the display?

Go to the following location:

Start > Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver settings

Uncheck the option "On resume, display logon screen".

I already have it unchecked and it still displays the lock screen.

So do I. Here's how - it's Option One in this tutorial....

Turn On or Off Require Sign-in on Wakeup in Windows 10

My account doesn't have a password, so I can't follow the tutorial.

Neither does mine, that stumped me for a little while.

Just set a password, then the option appears. Set it to 'Never' then remove the password, the setting will stay active even if it's no longer visible.

I tried doing that and now my laptop goes right back to my desktop after I wake up the display. Thanks for the help.
