Unhappy how to disable sign in screen in windows 10

I would like to have my computer come out of sleep mode straight to desktop and not have to click the sign in screen. It does not ask me for user name or password.It just shows anyone .I have done searches and have tried fixes to no avail.

Thank you!

Start - Settings - Personalization, in the left-hand pane, click "Lock Screen" and in right-hand pane, scroll down to and click on "Screen Saver settings."
In the window that opens, make sure that "On resume, display login screen" is not checked, click OK.
A faster way is to click the Start button, then just start typing Screen Saver, and in the menu that appears, click "Change Screen Saver settings." The Screen Savings settings window will open where you can uncheck the "On resume...." box.

Thank you!
You can achieve this by opening the User Accounts window using the "netplwiz" command in the Run dialog (Windows + R), unchecking the "Users must enter a user name and password" option, and applying the changes after entering your password. Restart your computer for the modifications to take effect, allowing it to bypass the sign-in screen and go straight to the desktop from sleep mode.
