Even though in Systems Preferences I have set myself for automatic login, I keep getting a login screen after putting iMac Fusion 2017 to sleep. Any fix ideas?
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017), OS: 10.12.6
For sleep and screen saver password / no password go to System Preferences> Security & Privacy> General
and uncheck Require password ......... after sleep or screen saver begins.
The Automatic Login in System Preferences> Users & Groups> Login Options is only for when you start the mac up.

Might be a corrupt .plist.
Do a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.
Quit System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application, and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Hello !
For an admin account the settings are as , automatic login is always kept as off , display login window as is optional same with input menu in login window and show the sleep restart ...its optional to check / uncheck the boxes .
How did you set for automatic login you have not mentioned , is it off or on , is this machine refurbished or a purchased directly through apple authorised showroom by you , are you having a single admin account or there are guest accounts .
Post a screen shot of users and groups ( login options ) for convenience .
You are welcome.
Thanks, but nothing there worked.
Machine was purchased from Apple online. Screen Grab photos attached of Login Options and of Security & Privacy windows. Thanks.
Agreed. Thanks!
Login screen keeps appearing after sleep. System Prefs doesn't fixit.
