Microsoft has been trying hard since Windows 10 to improve the security of its operating system, and it has already introduced a full-fledged security suite called Windows Security. Other than Windows Security, Microsoft also introduced many other security features such as Facial Unlock, Dynamic Lock, and more.
Windows 11 even has a feature that automatically locks the PC once it goes to sleep mode. The feature is called Login after sleep, and if you enable this feature, you will see a login screen whenever your PC wakes up from a sleep mode.
The Login after sleep is a great security feature, mainly if your family members use your PC. This makes sure that the user who owns the PC is the one trying to access it. However, if you only use the PC, the same security feature can become irritating.
So, if you feel there’s no need for the Login after sleep feature on your PC, you can disable it from the Settings app easily. Hence, in this article, we will share a step-by-step guide on quickly disabling the Login after sleep security feature in Windows 11. Let’s get started.
