Question Win7 Not Prompting For Password After Sleep

[PsychoPsyops]

My legit copy Windows 7 on my desktop refuses to ask for a password when waking it up from Sleep Mode.

PLEASE NOTE:
- I know the difference between Hybernation and Sleep. I am 100% sure I'm using Sleep Mode.
- I already went into the Power Options in both the Advanced Settings for Plans and the Control Panel. They both are ticked to Ask For Password.

All this being said, I'm still not getting a prompt to enter my password when waking up from Sleep Mode.
I am using an Asrock z77 Extreme6 motherboard and I also did not see a Password After Sleep option in the BIOS.

Thank you for your time in advance.

How about using Safe Mode?

Control Panel | Power Options | Edit plan settings
Change advanced power settings
Change settings that are currently unavailable
On my laptop, "Require password on wakeup" is the first option

And of course someone like you comes along and ignores everything I've said within the details.

Even if that were to work, I'd like to have this feature work without using safe mode.

Are you sure your PC ever enters sleep mode? Do you have "Kernel-Power" events logged?

I'll have to check the events, but all the fans, hardware, lights and ports turn off, so I don't see why it wouldn't.

All I can find in the event viewer on Kernel Power are 6 instances where the kernel power manager initiated a shutdown transition.
Nothing else related...

Does these events coincide with the times your PC went to sleep?
By a chance, is your PC set to auto-login?
Make a test - change your password, and let it sleep / resume again.

No, because I put my computer to sleep every night. these 6 instances were aligned with me shutting it off completely. Also, I don't know where the auto-login option even is. The power setting has the tick checked to ask for password on wakeup, if that's what you're referring to. But sure, I'll try changing the password and letting it sleep when I can, but I don't see why that would be an issue.

Tried changing the password, nothing solution.
Any other suggestions?

Going through old threads. This one was solved when upgrading to Win10.
