[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1036460, member: 55987"] Finally, I have found a solution which can solve my question below...........sort of modified version. If only BitLocker has a feature to lock to enable its protection after a period of inactivity, that would be nice. Anyone knows, is there such a feature in BitLocker? Modified Solution 1) Enable BitLocker 2) Enable TPM+PIN 3) Enable Hibernation mode in Windows 11. Mine was disabled initially. Can check using powercfg -a at cmd. It'll show Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) Network Connected [ATTACH type="full" width="569px" alt="1681978226754.png"]274718[/ATTACH] So, say you are in a public place or you need to be away from your laptop for some time, and you don't want to shut down the laptop. This means your laptop is not protected against unauthorized access. With the laptop running, BitLocker is useless here. Just press Hibernate at Start button to hibernate your laptop. When you return, you just depress the Power button to wake your laptop up. It'll ask for both the TPM PIN and desktop sign-in PIN (or password). After which, the laptop will boot up from where you left it. Remember, BitLocker is NOT ENABLED as it's being used. :D [/QUOTE]
