Required Sign in Time

[Modification]

So I currently have my surface pro 3 setup to ask me for my password if I have been away for 15 minutes. However, I noticed that even if I am away for a shorter time than that, I still need to go through my login screen.
I decided to test it and sure enough, exactly 10 minutes after I closed the keyboard (and thus putting my SP3 to sleep), I turned my SP3 back on and it asks for my password.

Does this happen to anyone else as well? I suggest you see for yourself. Set it to 15 minutes (Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in Options), wait 10 minutes and let me know if it asks for your password.

Yep having the same problem, in power options and sign in options I set it to never ask me my password and yet it always does, VERY annoying.

That "almost" sounds like a screen saver kicking in.

thought that too, but nope

I disabled the lockscreen to fix it for now.

The lock screen is different from the login screen right? I like my lock screen though. Such a strange feature. I don't think this happened in 8.1.

Use method 2 here, and you'll have to create the key "Personalization" but it will work http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-lock-screen-in-windows-8/

Thanks got rid of it. Seems to take a little longer to power it back up but still shorter than having to enter a password every time.

The issue is that it requires a password on "wake up" even if you go further into the advanced options and turn the "require a password on wake up" option off. This has nothing to do with turning off the sleep option. But thank you and welcome to the forums.
