The previous step only works when the computer starts. If you do nothing else, Windows may still ask you for a password each time your PC comes out of sleep mode, which can be even more annoying if it happens more than once in the day. There's a setting to avoid this control.
1) Right-click the Start menu, then click Settings in the list that appears.
2) In the window that opens, click Accounts.
3) The window's contents will change to display the settings related to user accounts. In the left column, click Sign-in options.
4) Go to the Require sign-in section. Then, select Never, instead of When PC wakes up from sleep:
Windows will no longer require a password every time your computer comes out of sleep mode.
N.B. Remember that your PC's account will no longer be protected. So, remember to reactivate these security options if you have to expose your computer to other people.
