Why don't my screen lock after sleep?

[Windows Central Question]

Screen doesn't get locked after sleep

When I close my laptop screen and reopen it, the desktop automatically opens up on my windows 10 and skips the password and sign in part.

Re: Screen doesn't get locked after sleep

I was having the same problem on my laptop. My other computers also upgraded to Win10 are locking just fine.

To fix the problem, I did this:

1. Go into Power Options
2. Click "Choose what closing the lid does"
3. Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
4. Select "Don't require a password"
5. Save Changes
6. Go back into "Choose what closing the lid does" and change the setting back to "Require a password"

Apparently the setting got stuck during the upgrade and resetting it gets it unstuck.

For me the option is completely gone. I dont have the setting for "Choose what closing the lid does".
