Weird part is, I don’t remember changing it at all, but I’ll check that setting.
I believe there’s also a setting somewhere about resuming your session to complete updates instead of waiting for you to manually log back in or something like that.

This is what I see when I go to sign-in options under Settings: Accounts-- the thing is just grayed out, no way to change it, apparently. I’ve unpaired my phone and some AirPods and turned Bluetooth off entirely.
This is for Win10, bit might point the way for you: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/11129-turn-off-require-sign-wakeup-windows-10-a.html
Any time I see greyed out settings, if it’s not something managed by “admin”, it’s been something fixed with group policy or registry edits.
Yeah, I had the same problem a week ago with a reformatted Windows 11 computer. Here’s the Windows 11 version of the webpage: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/enable-or-disable-require-sign-in-on-wakeup-in-windows-11.864/
I ended up having to with Option Five Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc). As @Equisilus said the problem was a group policy setting.
Thanks, I hadn’t seen your reply. I’ll try doing it with an elevated command line argument, because I don’t have the versions of Windows 11 that let me mess with Group Policy.
EDIT: turns out it won’t let me do that, because “group policy.” Who the hell’s machine is this anyway? This shit pisses me off.
I guess I’ll have to try the registry hack. I’ve turned off everything associated with Windows Hello, including a PIN.
This was the exact thing it said:
“Group policy override settings exist for this power scheme or power setting” when I entered the line below into the elevated command prompt.
powercfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_NONE CONSOLELOCK 1
Microsoft just killed Windows Subsystem for Android, which is a pity because I liked using the Kindle Android App on my computers.
Issues were that it wasn’t generating money from the store, which, of course it wasn’t. The Amazon Appstore has always been complete garbage. It’s strange they couldn’t get Google to go along with the Google Play Store, considering how much cooperation they’ve been doing in recent years.
Another issue is that Amazon itself is moving away from Android to its own Vega OS.
Google has their own “play store on windows” solution.
FWIW there’s an actual Kindle app for Windows which seems to work okay. Not sure how well it compares to the Android Kindle app though.
Wait, is there an official Google-supported way to get the Play Store on WIndows? Everything I’ve seen is a third-party emulator or uses some hacked way to do it.
Supports only a limited set of apps, and pretty much just games, which I had forgotten when I mentioned it above.
That’s interesting, thanks for the link.
I love stories like this.
I genuinely like the simplicity of it. I happened to use that very dialog box just a week or two back.
Ok, not sure which forum or thread for this but here goes.
How the hell do you set up a home network (for sharing files and printing and stuff between computers) on Windows 11? I have yet to figure this out.
My wife has her computer upstairs. My two (work setup, game box) are in the basement. All three are hard-wired into the router. I cannot seem to get anything to talk to anything.
Network & Internet Settings → click Ethernet → establish each PC is on a private network (up at the top), not public. My guess is this is where the problem resides because Windows 11 defaults to Public.
If Private is already selected, choose Network & Internet Settings → Advanced Network Settings → Advanced Sharing Settings → turn on Network Discovery for all devices that want to be seen. You can also share on a per file/folder basis by using the right-click context menu.
Alternatively, you can keep the public network setting, but then change the discovery/sharing settings for that . . but I wouldn’t advise it.
Doh! I think it may have been the ambiguity of public/private settings that was doing me in. I can’t try until later when I’m at home, but that seems promising. Thanks a bunch!
Anyone use an alternative search tool on their pc running windows 11 to locate files/photos across multiple storage drives?
I came across this mentioned as I was trying to find ways to have the default windows search be faster, when dealing with say 15-20 TB of data storage.
I am going to give it a try tonight.
Dude who made it works as an engineer for Microsoft, I found him on linkedin.
