Require password only when starting up

Hi,

Welcome to Tenforums,

To set your PC to require a password only at startup follow a few easy steps to first set-up a password, and then disable to require password after sleep.

1st Find The Settings App either from Start Menu or by typing it in the search bar (Where cortana is)
2nd In Settings Locate Accounts

3rd Under Accounts you will see a "Sign-In Options" pane on the left

4th Under Password set a password you want to use

5th On the same page at the top where it says Require sign in.

set it to Never

That should do the trick. If you are not certain that it applied the changes make sure to restart your computer, and report back.
Hope this helps.

If your computer doesnt ask for a password on startup or reboot, check if it is set to ask at all,

Hope this helps, again dont forget to restart or turn off and start your pc and report back.
