I didnt know about your ans but i did some research found this :
- Press Win + R, run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device, and set DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion to 0.
- Press Win + R, run netplwiz, uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password...", click Apply, and enter your password when prompted.
- Open Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, find "If you've been away...", and change the setting to Never.
- (Optional) For permanent results across major updates, switch to a local profile via Settings > Accounts > Your info > Sign in with a local account instead.
Hope this will help you
