So a few days ago I noticed that if I shut my Asus laptop and re-open it, it opens straight to the desktop again. No sign-in required, despite all my computer settings displaying that it should require sign-in. After doing some troubleshooting, I have figured out that it only happens when plugged in to power. When on battery power, it wakes from sleep to the sign-in screen as intended.
My laptop:
Asus P5440UF
Intel UHD Graphics 620
NVIDIA GeForce MX130
My settings:
Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Require Sign-in > When PC wakes from sleep
Power Options > When I close the lid: Sleep (both battery and plugged in)
I checked in advanced power settings and don't see any conflicting settings that would prevent the computer from going to sleep. I tried setting everything to hibernate when I close the lid, updating the settings, restarting, and changing them back; that changed nothing.
I've also tried reinstalling the Intel display drivers and it had no effect. I'm a bit hesitant to completely uninstall the display drivers in case it causes more issues.
I found some tutorials online that mentioned using PowerShell to manually edit this setting. I used the provided commands but it seemingly did nothing. I also found older tutorials that mention editing the registry to modify this setting, but I don't even have the registry entries that the guides mention.
I'm a bit stumped here. Does anyone have any ideas for other solutions I can try? I find it especially weird that it works as intended on battery power but not when plugged in, and only was noticeable in the past few days. Thanks in advance!
