I can't get my Surface Pro to stop requiring a password when waking.

When I run netplwiz I see two User Names which are the same. Is this a duplicate, and could it cause problems? What would happen if I removed one of them?

Do you happen with have a work exchange email account in the mail app? If you do, it could be your works security settings.

I've never connected this computer to my exchange account.

I ended up finding some instructions here to completely disable the lock screen and that seemed to do the trick. I used the Group Policy (gpedit.msc) method and it's now password free :toot:
