Windows Laptop not opening to lock screen or requiring any password/fingerprint

Difficulty: ⭐ Easy | Time: About 5 minutes

Before You Start

Make sure your device is on and in front of you. Read through all steps first, then follow them one at a time. No rush!

Step-by-Step

Don't worry if this feels confusing — we'll walk through it together, one step at a time. My laptop does not require any password when I close the screen and does not open to any lock screen, it just goes straight to the desktop. The only time it opens with the lock screen or requires password/fingerprint is when I restart manually through the power settings. I have tried multiple options like disabling Windows Hello but none have worked. I would really appreciate if someone could help me fix this. submitted by /u/Elemten [link] [comments] You did it!
