Are you tired of constantly entering a password every time your Windows 10 computer wakes up from sleep or hibernation? You're not alone! This common annoyance can be easily fixed by adjusting your computer settings.

Here's how to stop Windows 10 from asking for a password when it wakes up:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type netplwiz and hit Enter to open the User Accounts window.
3. Uncheck the box that says Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
4. Click Apply and enter your current password in the pop-up window that appears.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

That's it! You should no longer be prompted to enter a password when waking up your Windows 10 computer.

Keep in mind that disabling this feature may pose a security risk, especially if you share your computer with others or if your device is easily accessible to unauthorized individuals. Use this tip with caution and consider other security measures to protect your data.
