    Hello all!

    My notebook has started booting from standby differently recently and I don't recall making any changes that would affect this.

    Even though I only have one Windows' user profile, mine, it use to boot to the Windows welcome screen and I would just have to click my name/icon to go back to my Windows session, but now it boots straight into Windows.

    I prefer this new method as it's quicker and doesn't require a redundant extra click, but is there a setting to turn this method on and off?

    Thank you in advance!

    Desktop->Right Click->Screen Saver->Power->Advanced->Click on "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby"

    that should do it
