  1. Laptop keeps showing lock screen after a minute of inactivity


    Hi all,

    I've recently encountered this issue and after googling for a few hours, I'm nowhere closer to fixing it.

    My laptop (MSI GL65 9SC), running Windows 10 Version 20H2 OS build 19042.746, keeps showing the lock screen after about a minute or two of inactivity, prompting me to re-enter my PIN to unlock it.

    Things I've tried:

    • Resetting my power plan settings.
    • Setting the display to never turn off.
    • Setting the computer to never sleep.
    • Setting the System Unattended Sleep Timeout to 30 minutes.
    • Disabling Screen Savers.
    • Disabling the function of the power button.
    • Disabling the function of closing the lid.
    • Updating Windows.
    • Updating all my display device drivers.
    • Running the battery troubleshooter.
    • Disabling custom themes.

    So far, nothing has worked. I could be reading a reddit post, and if it takes slightly too long, my laptop will lock itself. I'd really appreciate any insight into this, thank you.

    Here's some other misc information:

    • I have 2 additional monitors attached to my laptop, one through HDMI and one through mini DP.
    • I have a USB mouse attached.
    • I have a speaker system plugged in.

    I can not get my pc to follow my Power and Sleep settings. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the screen is blank and I have to wake it and login.
