There is a reg entry which prevents the pass prompt with the lock screen. If you don't find it via google let me know and I find and post what I have. jlc

Oh yes. When I upgraded one group to Windows 10, the #1 complaint was the new lock-screen, and that it forces to enter the password many times per day. Users hate this (and it makes them switch to simpler passwords). I have not yet found why this nonsense lockscreen requests the password. It does not on my machine, which should have the same config. I will probably have to set Windows to never turn off the screen. Hibernation is even worse, because often after wakeup some hardware does not work anymore, and the computer must be rebootet to fix that.
