Administrator Locked - Windows 7 how to get Administrator logged on automatically

[Legoman]

3 home use computers. All set up identically with the same version of Winborg 7 x64 Jan 2021. Two of these computers wake from sleep mode no trouble at all straight back into the OS with no required clicking of a stupid little tile in the middle of the screen labelled Administrator Locked. The third does not.

I have tried everything I know to get this third computer to log itself back in automatically like the other two do, but with no success. I know it's only a minor thing that requires a single mouse click, but after 2 years of this, I'm sick of it. Does anyone know where the setting is to make this annoyance go away?

I have Auto Logon checked via the registry tweak from TweakNow Powerpack, but it makes no difference.

The only thing I can think of...

 

if there is more than one user account, the computer will halt at the login screen...  ?‍♂️

No. Same as the other two computers, Administrator is the only user.

Could it perhaps be a BIOS setting doing it? The three computers are not the same manufacturer or model. They are all different as far as hardware, but the software/OS setup is identical because I set them up myself.

I think I've just found the answer while configuring the Power Settings options for new tasks in Task Scheduler. Under Advanced Power Options, there are a bunch of extra settings, the very first of which is 'Require Password on wake up'. Mine was set to YES. Have changed that back to NO and hopefully this will kill the annoyance.

This works too. Problem solved
