My HP desktop running Windows 8.1 defaults with 90 seconds of inactivity requiring password re-log in. Via the CONTROL PANEL, POWER OPTIONS, I have programmed this pc to DON'T REQUIRE A PASSWORD ON WAKEUP. When I go to the PC SETTINGS UTILITY to use the PASSWORD POLICY, the link is inactive.

In using this 8.1 Windows desktop during my normal day, I am forced to re-log in about 30 times daily. I would like to end this annoyance.

Thanks for any ideas.

you can disable lock screen trough this option, check option 10

Turn On or Off to Show Lock Screen Instead of Turning Off Screen when PC is Inactive
