    Do you guys know to get rid of the blue screen that comes up when you awake the laptop from sleep? I always hit enter and it takes me to my desktop, so the screen serves no purpose for me.

    I'm guessing the option is in the user accounts somewhere, any idea?

    It's in Power Options > [Your Power Plan] > Change Advanced Power Settings > Require Password on Wakeup.

    Right click Computer > Properties > (down) Performance Information Tools > Adjust power Settings > Click change plan settings (on the right of your power plan) > Change Advanced power settings and in the list you should see Require password on wakeup. Set the option to No.

    Enjoy
