  1. 20 seconds of idle gives me login screen, how do I disable?


    I'm at my wit's end. I'm running Win 10 and suddenly it has started to crash me to the login screen, as if I pressed win+L. It started when it did it once and forcibly prompted me to change my login password to the computer. It might have been cause my usual login pass wasn't very secure? Why did it even force me to do that??


    But now it does it after I've been idle for approx 20 seconds. If I'm actively using the pc, it doesn't do it. But it tries to do it if I'm watching something but doesn't succeed. But always after I've left the computer idle not moving my mouse it "crashes" to the login screen. It doesn't terminate any of my programs, it just wants me to log in again.


    I've tried rebooting, I've tried installing all new windows updates, I've updated my graphic's driver, I've checked all power settings, I've googled like a madman... I don't see any errors in Event Viewer. I tried "sfc /scannow" in the command prompt and restored all my system files that way. I've tried disconnecting one of my displays. I ran Malwarebytes and removed all viruses/malware.


    FIY I don't have a "Users must enter a name and password to use this computer." checkbox in my "user accounts" so I can't even make my computer automatically log me in. I tried disabling the first login screen but it doesn't help.

    Nothing helps! What do I do, please help, someone!

    :)

    5 min delay on cold start between login screen and bg screen

    Ok, let the powershell command run overnight
    If the command didn't solve the problem, the try these steps in order:

    1. Disable superfetch service
      • Empty the following folder c:\Windows\Prefetch\
      • Restart the computer
      • Si ça ne marche pas, passer à l'étape 2;
    2. Disable the AppXSvc from the registry: change the "Start" key value from 3 to 4 (see the screenshot)
