Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 will prompt for password after long periods of inactivity like overnight or lunch. The box is similar to Outlook Anywhere login.<\/p>\n<p>There is definitely nothing wrong with Outlook and the environment as it has been use for nearly a year. Poking around the Power Settings in Control Panel other than sleeping the CPU, did not show anything.<\/p>\n<p>Since Google said it might be due to network connectivity, I decided to have a look in the network adapter settings. Lo and behold, there is a power management tab. Unchecked &#8216;Can shutdown adapter to conserve power&#8217; . No more prompts.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the out of box config for Windows 7 will sleep the network adapter if there is no outgoing activity, causing a prompt for authentication.<\/p>\n<p>Update: I have seen a HP with Win XP with this problem. Similarly, I unchecked the power management and services resumed.<\/p>\n<p>Update 3 May 11 &#8211; You must restart \/ reboot the computer for this setting to be effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 prompts for password after long period of inactivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,73],"tags":[374,372],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exchange","category-windows","tag-windows","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=994"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3592,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions\/3592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
