Windows occasionally bypasses the lock screen.
Windows occasionally bypasses the lock screen.
Hi, I saw your laptop (2020 Zephyrus G14) occasionally skipping the lock screen after startup. It makes me worried, especially since I haven’t noticed this before with Windows 10 or during the switch to Windows 11. My desktop works fine, and I’m currently on version 22H2. I’d really prefer not to spend time reinstalling the OS.
Yes, we have a password configured. If not, facial recognition or fingerprint access is available.
Yes of course. I set a PIN like on all my devices. I also have a fingerprint scanner on the power button that doesn't really work most of the time. It sometimes directly goes to Windows desktop without me even seeing the lockscreen. I normally also don't touch the laptop while startup. Just press the power button and let it sit until I am in lockscreen. I also can't imagine it remembers my fingerprint from starting the PC.
Yep, it's called caching. It will store your bio-metrics long enough to log you in, thus saving you a whole button press. If you want to test it for yourself, try pushing the power button with something other than your finger, like a pencil eraser or something. If it still logs you in, THEN you have a problem.
