My pc want to lock me out when I quit or sleep.

Is this a problem with windows 8?

Rose,

The computer requires a password to allow you back in?

To control this setting:

  • Go to your metro / start screen
  • Start typing anywhere on the screen "password to wake up"
  • Click on 'Settings' (on the right side of the screen)
  • Click the application 'Require a password when the computer wakes up'

    Why my computer lock me out when I leave for subject of less than five minutes?  I don't have a password to unlock it, then if not how can I removed the lock feature?

    Hello
    I suggest you to see these steps:

    • Press right on your mouse button when your desktop is visible. A menu will appear.
    • Move your mouse to the bottom of the menu and click on the word "Properties".
    • Look at the tabs under the marked blue title bar "display properties". You should be able to see one marked "screen saver". Click the screen saver tab once. You should now see a small monitor.
    • Look for the dropdown next to the marked buttons 'Settings' and 'Preview '. Click on the arrow down on the right side of the menu drop down.
    • Look at the list of available screensavers. The first menu is marked '(none) '. Click on this title. Once you have clicked on the title, the "Apply" button will become operational.
    • Click on the button apply. Close the display properties window and the Control Panel window. You have now properly disabled your screen saver.

  • Lock shift out of synchronization with the 2008 Server RDP session

    Hello

    A few of our users have problems with their caps lock being out of sync with their RDP session, that is to say if their keyboard displays light as being off, they type and get capital letters when they press the SHIFT key on their keyboard to stop the caps lock lights up and they then type in lowercase.  I can't find any resolution on the web about what is happening in a 2008 R2 server environment.

    Can anyone help?

  • How to lock your laptop when the lid is closed.

    Hi, I would like to know how to lock the computer when I close my laptop something similar to press windows + L. I don't want to put my laptop in prolonged standby/sleep mode and do not want to set a screen saver due to watching movies and other. Surely, there is a parameter that can be tweaked to make this happen if it is not a visible option?

    Because you don't want your laptop to sleep/hibernate just by closing the lid, the only way to lock your computer click Start and close this computer or windows logo press L and then close the lid of your laptop

    Hope this info helps

  • computer locked me out of everything

    When I turned on, computer screen said something like COMPUTER LOCK YOU OUT. The unit is on but the screen is dark.

    Thanks for the info on the function keys. Regarding the original issue, it was solved: by pressing the power button for 10 seconds, the computer rebooted and everything's fine. I learned something new today. Thank you for your help.

    Thanks for the comments. Your original statement "when I lit" actually mislead me. You do not light - you woke from sleep mode.

    I recommend that you only use this event as an incentive to find out how to start the computer in Mode safe mode with F8. Sooner or later you will need this knowledge.

  • You removed the notification of 'out' when close FireFox v18 and above. Can this be restored? (our Ajax application depended on)

    Since version 18, FireFox sends more notification of 'out' when the browser is closed. Our Ajax application depends on this notification to logout of the application. Now, without such notification, the session of the app not close when the user closes their browser.

    Note that other browsers (for example. IE and Chrome) send this notification of release.

    The standard weather app on my iphone 6 has stopped working.  It shows just my wallpaper grayed out when I try to access.  The app can be restarted or deleted and reloaded?  If so, how?

    No, the soft part of the operating system, so it would mean reload the iOS together. Have you tried a forced reboot yet?

    Close all open applications by double-clicking the home button, and then drag to the top of the application window until it disappears from the screen.

    Reset your device: press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black, and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    So basically I want my engine to move when I press a button and it stop when I release. It sounds simple, but I'm a hard time. I'm a begengineer (junior engineer) to labview.  I know how to move the engine will be a button that launches the application and a button that stops it. Thank you

    Boolean control with mechanical action value until the liberation. Use a structure of the event and the Boolean value of control change event. If the new value is TRUE then start the engine, a false arrest him. How to start and stop the engine depends on the material you are using.

  • Solution: How can I disable IE9 asking if I want to save the file when I click on a video link?

    It happened once before, but I don't remember the solution.

    A few days ago started IE9 conventional if I want to save a file when I click on a video link.  I want to happen is for Windows Media Player to view the video.  I don't want to save on my computer, and if I did, I know how to right click and choose Save target as...

    It is very frustarting as Windows hides these obvious options without giving you a way easty to change.  I don't know what has caused the change at first.

    WMP is set as default player for all supported media types.

    Solution: Although WMP is already set as default program for all its supported video format, I had to go to set your default programs and select explicitly.

    Looks like the info bar itself would have the option available.

  • MASTERED OPTION IS GRAYED OUT WHEN YOU TRY TO BURN A HOME PC PREM BRAND NEW VIRGIN DVD + R ON VISTA 32-BIT

    Due to virus I had to rebuild PC using the RECOVERY partition on hard drive. All windows updates have been applied to date (August 2011). Before the virus problem (July 2011) WAS able TO SELECT THE "MASTERED" OPTION WHEN YOU are GOING to USE WINDOWS TO BURN a VIRGIN DVD + r. NEW once AGAIN, this WORKED BEFORE, NOW THE MASTER OPTION IS GRAYED OUT.  I have a brand new DVD + R blank and tried several of them thinking it was the disk (I've used this same brand (magnavox) DVD + R 4 years now never this problem of the "controlled" option is grayed out.) I use the same DVD burner which came with the PC and it allowed me to select the option "Mastered" last month (July 2011). I am using Windows HomePrem 32-bit OS (originial system that came with PC and this allowed me to select the mastered option last month. I applied all the updates Win at present. I have no other problems with the PC. Once again, driving the nail: this WORKED BEFORE, last month on the exact same hardware and the software/OS (Juillet2011), then why this option appears GRAYED out now?  This question has been asked before and 'experts' simply stressed totally USELESS MS pages showing how to select either under control or direct - I DO NOT NEED THIS HELP as I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO SELECT either option and what each is for. Also the other 'fixed' DOES NOT APPLY to this situation. (Do NOT send me to the following links because they DO NOT ANSWER to THE QUESTION: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/burn-a-disk-mastered-is-unavailable-grayed-out/9eb41f09-1778-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5?page=1&tm=1312314316719#footer or http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-sound/mastered-format-option-grayed-out/aee1469f-1095-436c-9f12-acce80c2bb99.) These 2 links DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, so answer the question, do not send us in circles, always looking for the answer.  How SIMPLY THE QUESTION IS: Fix us the radio button for 'Mastered' so that it is NO LONGER GRAYED OUT when you insert a brand new, clean the DVD + R in my DVD burner (same that I had for years, which worked before) on my Vista 32 bit OS HomePRem? I have a host of (222 blank GB) of disk space and a lot of RAM (4 GB) and again I WAS able TO select the "mastered"option before my restoration." Help!

  • I don't want the address to show when I have 10 or 12 Pushpins on my card, Microsoft Streets & Trips

    Original title:

    Location information on the Pushpins

    I have Microsoft Streets & Trips 19.00.17.3000 and when I search for an address, it creates a marker with the address in the part information of the bubble.  I don't want the address to show when I have 10 or 12 Pushpins on my card, but when I only shows the name that it's hard to see them in the context of the card.  I want to have the bubble with only the name, but I can not remove the address from the part of detail of the bubble.  My friend has an older version of S & T, and when he sends me cards I can edit the Pushpins to delete location info.  With my version, is there a setting or a work around that?  It's a lot of your time to remove each pin and manually put blank benchmarks in their place.
