Require a password on wakeup missing in Windows 10

Symptom

I recently had to reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop, after the hard drive failed. I set it up that I didn't have to login when Windows started. However, when the computer went to sleep I would have to enter my password which I found very annoying.

All the links I found on the internet referred to going to the Power Options in the Control Panel and clicking Require a password on wakeup. However, on my version of Windows 10 this option was not present.

Solution

1. Go to Settings and then select Accounts.
2. Click Sign-in Options
3. Under Require sign-in select Never
