WN19-CC-000190 - Windows Server 2019 users must be prompted to authenticate when the system wakes from sleep (plugged in).

Information

A system that does not require authentication when resuming from sleep may provide access to unauthorized users. Authentication must always be required when accessing a system. This setting ensures users are prompted for a password when the system wakes from sleep (plugged in).

Solution

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Power Management >> Sleep Settings >> 'Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in)' to 'Enabled'.
