Windows 10: My laptop keeps locking...

So recently my laptop has been randomly locking and draining the battery to 0. 30% to 0% in an instant. Usually it happens when it is running something relatively hard, as its cooling. But even just when I'm browsing YouTube I will hear the cooling and then a locking screen. Is there any way to stop this? I don't think these things should be taking much out of my computer. I got this computer at the beginning of the year, so it's not old. My CPU usage has random spikes if that's any help. I have i7, andyoutube kills it? I'm just not sure what has caused this, can anyone help?

Lock Screen keeps changing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
   Picture.
   
5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
