Tired of having to turn in your password every time your computer wakes up? Look no further as Windows Clan tells you how to disable sign in on wake up in Windows 10.
In this modern world, full of technology of the highest order, privacy has become an issue that needs to be addressed with even more effort. Why? Because the more advanced the world, the more easier it is to hack and invade privacy. The world has seen several huge privacy invasion scandals in the past few years, topped by the hacking of the cloud storage of several celebrities dubbed as the Fappening.
One can argue that since the world is advancing rapidly in terms of technology, privacy does not remain that big an issue due to the advancements in algorithms. What they do forget is that the one who developed that algorithm is a human, so breaking that algorithm by a human is also possible. Windows on its part has given users an array of choices to ensure user integrity.
Some of these features include disallowing email access, keeping your location discrete and also stopping apps from accessing your account info. These allow you to monitor your privacy and place nice restrictions on them which keep your privacy at a minimum risk. Another built in feature omnipresent in Windows for user integrity is sign in on wake up.
This, while a very nice thing to have, can be pestering sometimes. So if you feel like getting rid of it, the process to disable sign in on wake up is as below.
Step 1: Open Settings and then click on Accounts: Your account, sync settings, work, family.
Step 2: From the left side menu, click on Sign in options.
