I do have a camera, but I don't know if mine has facial recognition. I will
check, but probably not.
Also, no thumbprint like my phone.
Thank you everyone -- such good ideas. I just need to adjust my attitude and
stop letting this short delay annoy me so much.

Does your laptop have a camera? My laptop is set up to recognize my face
during power up.
Alternatively all my Windows 10 PC's, two desktops and the one notebook, use
a 4 digit numerical pass-code during startup. I hardly remember what the
actual password IS. I do have it written down.
<grin> I think it's all using my Windows or Microsoft Account.
