Explanation

In Windows, the setting to require a password on wake/resume is located within the Screen Saver Settings dialog. Navigating to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen > Screen saver settings opens a dialog that includes a checkbox labeled 'On resume, display logon screen.' This is the specific control that enforces password re-entry after inactivity. Screen Time-out settings (B) control only when the screen turns off, not password enforcement. 'General' settings (C) is not a relevant Windows Settings category for this purpose. Display settings (D) control resolution and monitor configuration, not authentication on resume. The screensaver settings dialog is the legacy but correct Windows location for this security control.
