Windows 10 Operating System _ Stop Password Prompt After Screensaver

 

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer


Stop Password Prompt After Screensaver

By default, Windows asks for a password when resuming from screensaver. You can disable that.

  1. Right-click on the desktop → choose Personalize.

  2. Go to Lock Screen → scroll down and click Screen saver settings.

  3. In the Screen Saver Settings window:

    • Make sure “On resume, display logon screen” is unchecked.

  4. Click ApplyOK.

Now, when the bubbles screensaver ends, pressing a key will return directly to the desktop.

3. Optional: Disable Password on Wake from Sleep

If the PC goes to sleep, it may still ask for a password.

  1. Open SettingsAccountsSign-in options.

  2. Under Require sign-in, set it to Never.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • This makes the PC completely unsecured — anyone can access it without a password. Since it’s for your daughter’s casual use, that may be fine, but keep in mind if the PC has sensitive files.

  • If you ever want to re-enable security, just reverse the steps above.

Would you like me to also show you how to set up a child account with no password at all (so she has her own space but doesn’t need to log in), or do you prefer keeping everything under one account?
