Sign-in options: Require sign-in "When PC wakes up from sleep" missing
Hello,
I recently migrated from Windows 7 and am trying to mimic the experience I had in regards to sleep/wake. The way I have my power options set up is for the display to turn off after 10 minutes, and for it never to sleep on its own. If I want it to sleep, I'll press the power button.
The current behavior is that Windows does not ask for a password ever, except for after restarting/shutting down. It does not ask for a password when the display is off and I press a key, or when the computer wakes from manually-induced sleep. See below for current state for requiring password:
Shut down: Yes
Restart: Yes
Sleep Wake: No
Display off: No
The desired behavior is for it to not ask for a password or display the logon screen when the display is off and I press a key, but to ask for it every time the computer wakes from manually-induced sleep. See below for desired state for requiring password:
Shut down: Yes
Restart: Yes
Sleep Wake: YES
Display off: No
I've read many articles on many websites stating that the solution is to to go to the Settings app, Sign-in options, Require sign-in, and set it to "When PC wakes up from sleep", but this option does not appear for me. Instead, I see the option "Never" and a bunch of time intervals. When I search for this problem on Google, all I get are the type of articles I just described, which do not answer my question.
Things I have tried:
-Looking over power options in control panel. Does not mention asking for password
-Setting the "On resume, display logon screen" option in screensaver settings, but this comes packaged with a time interval, which I don't want.
-Checking under Lock screen settings, but this is under Personalization, so I didn't expect much, and didn't get much. There is no option there.
-powercfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK 1 (and DC)
Before you ask, here is some other information:
-I am on Windows 10 Home, version 1909, build 18363.1016. This is a Lenovo Ideapad 5.
-It cannot be that the expected behavior happens on battery and not while plugged in, or vice versa, because all of my settings do not differentiate between the two states.
-I am not using a Microsoft account, I am using a local account with administrator privileges.
-HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowSignInOptions value is set to 1. The other sign-in options work as intended.
If you need any more information, do not hesitate to ask. My Windows 7 build did this out of the box (after setting power options) and it is frustrating to me that Windows 10 changed that.
