- Look Away Detect
- Wake On Approach
- Walk Away Lock
Figure 1: User Presence Detection
The Look Away Detect setting protects your data and saves power by dimming the screen when you are not engaged with the computer. When you turn your face away from the screen for more than 6 seconds, the computer screen dims to 0%. The screen will immediately brighten once it detects your face again.
The Wake on Approach setting enables quicker sign-in by automatically turning on the display when detecting your presence.
If the Windows Hello feature is enabled, the camera recognizes your face and automatically unlocks the computer. If Windows Hello is not enabled, your password is required to unlock the computer.
- Modern Standby must be enabled to use Wake on Approach. For more information, reference What is Modern Standby and how does it differ from S3 Standby.
- It may take up to 1 minute to fully enter Modern Standby before Wake on Approach will function.
The Walk Away Lock setting turns off the display and automatically locks the computer when you walk away for more than 60 seconds.
