arctirus Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) This is the second vista machine I've had this happen to. It works great for a few weeks then for seemingly no reason starts requiring a password when coming out of standby. I have it set to not require a password and have tried toggling the setting to see if that would fix it but no luck. Both machines I've done this to have been vlited but I don't think very much was taken out and like I said, both worked fine for weeks. Any ideas? Both are 64 bit business.

Mr Snrub Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Is the screensaver set to require a password on unlock, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctirus Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nope, no screen saver is even enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 When you are changing the setting, are you making this change in the Group Policy Object Editor? This is where I set this setting for all my Vista builds, and haven't had any problems with it. Alas, the GPOE is only available in Business and Ultimate, so if you have a different distro, then it won't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctirus Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 No, I set it from the link in screen saver options. I'll give that shot when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafx1 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 you can adjust that from advanced power settings and set "required a password on wakeup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctirus Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) you can adjust that from advanced power settings and set "required a password on wakeup".That's my problem, that's checked and it started requiring one anyway.When you are changing the setting, are you making this change in the Group Policy Object Editor?Tried it and no luck. The password is still required. Any other ideas? Edited August 8, 2008 by arctirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctirus Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Couldn't find the issue, went back to an earlier ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
