Windows 10 free wake up two methods

While using Windows 10, it's common to be prompted for a password when waking the computer from sleep or hibernate mode. If you'd prefer not to enter a password every time, there are two effective methods to disable this requirement. These steps can help streamline your experience and make waking up your PC more convenient.

1. Use the New Windows 10 Settings

If you're running an updated version of Windows 10, such as the Anniversary Update or later, you can easily adjust these settings through the built-in system settings. Start by pressing the Win + I keys to open the System Settings window. From there, click on the "Account" option in the left sidebar.

Once in the Account settings, look for the "Login Options" section and click on it. This will take you to a new page where you can manage how you log in to your device.

On the Login Options screen, locate the "When you wake from sleep mode" setting. By default, it may be set to "Require a password." To disable this, select the "Never" option from the dropdown menu. This change will prevent the system from asking for a password upon waking up.

2. Use Traditional Control Commands

If you're using an older version of Windows 10 or prefer a more direct approach, you can access the same settings via the Run command. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box, then type the following command and press Enter:

Control.exe /name Microsoft.PowerOptions /page pageGlobalSettings

This will launch the Power Options settings window. Look for the option labeled "Require a password on wake" and toggle it off. However, note that this option might be grayed out if the policy is set by an administrator. In such cases, click on the blue link "Change current unavailable settings" to unlock the option.

After enabling the "Do not need password" option, click "Save Changes" to apply the setting. Your system should now allow you to wake it up without entering a password.

Tip: If you prefer a graphical interface over typing commands, you can also reach the same settings by navigating through: Control Panel → All Control Panel Items → Power Options → System Settings. This path works well for users who aren't comfortable with the command line.

By following either of these methods, you can customize your Windows 10 experience to suit your preferences, making your daily computing tasks faster and more efficient.
