Why Windows 11 can't get into desktop directly from wake up?

It is a single user computer at my home. I have to click the login button every time from wake up. The computer is quite safe and no need to use password. How can I get into the desktop without clicking anything from wake up?

  • Right-click on the Windows folder, select New > Key, and name it Personalization if it’s not already there. Inside the Personalization key, right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it NoLockScreen.

    You can configure your PC to bypass the login screen completely by using the following method. Note that this will make your computer less secure, as anyone who has physical access to it can access your files and settings.

    I just tried enabling the policy for battery and disabling it for plugged-in, and now it resumes from sleep without my entering a password. Maybe you didn't run gpupdate /force after you disabled the plugged-in policy?
