Windows 10: Screen locks itself randomly

My laptop started locking itself randomly while in use. I notice this change since I made update last week.


I checked my power settings and nothing has changed. My laptop is set to "NEVER" sleep on battery and when plugged in.


I also checked the advanced settings, nothing unusual.


I thought this was display drivers issue but I updated this but the issue has not been resolved. I will appreciate any help to fix my laptop.


Thank you

:)

Lock Screen Randomly Changes

Hi John,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to go to the lock screen settings and disable the automatic lock screen change and check if the issue persist.

To test the issue I suggest you to create a new user account and restart the computer and check whether you can find other new user account.

I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
• Select add someone else on this PC.
• Enter a user name and hit next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
