Solved When the display turns off...

Windows 11 Home Edition Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3296)
When the display turns off, it goes to the sign in option when I wake it up.
I think this happened after the latest Windows updates, so I am thinking of uninstalling them.
As I said yesterday, there was another problem, with my plans having disappeared (I had added them manually because I know Windows 11 Home Edition does not have them all). On the other hand, the power saver was suddenly present three times. I managed to fix this, but there are still problems. The "show options that are currently not available" has disappeared, and there is no option to disable password protection on wake up.
I have tried the tricks on this page How to disable Windows 8 lock screen?, which should also work with Windows 11, but they either didn't work or were not available.
Suddenly there also is a new Administrator account that I didn't create.
Is there something I can change in the registry or should I just uninstall the latest updates?
Thank you.

Hello, :-)

Here a few things you can check:

1) Make sure On resume, display logon screen is unchecked in your Screen Saver Settings.


2) Check to make sure the Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit policy below is not enabled.


3) Turn off Dynamic Lock below if used.


4) If you computer is going into sleep mode or standby mode while the display is turned off, then check to make sure If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again? below is set to "Never".

Thank you. I am going to try something now.
I had tried fingerprint recognition (just to know if it worked because I don't really need it, being the only one who uses this laptop). Then I removed the password again (necessary for Windows Hello fingerprint recognition) without removing my fingerprint. Maybe this caused some issues? I will try to add a password again, then I will remove the fingerprint completely, as well as the PIN, then I will remove the password again.
That's the only thing I can think of that might have caused the issue because all other settings are OK. The option "if you have been away" is now grayed out I think because of what I said above.
I'll come back later to let you know. :)

Thank you - it worked! It is good I don't have to uninstall updates. :)
Any idea why I don't have the link to change settings that are currently unavailable in my advanced power settings, as mentioned in my OP?
(The link is available in choose what the power buttons do, but not in the power plan settings. Maybe this is normal? To be honest, I am not even sure the link was there before - I only thought about it when I wanted to change password protection.)

Great news. :party:

It's not uncommon for some power options not to be available in your power plan settings. You can often manually add them back though.


You can also look under "Power Options" in the tutorial index below for others you may want to add back. They still work in Windows 11.
