  1. Computer goes to lock screen by itself during gaming


    I am having a strange issue - my computer randomly goes to lock screen. I have automatic lock screen turned off

    It happens both when gaming (which is really annoying playing online) and when just using normally. It often happens a few times in a row (after I log back in each time). I am not accidentally pressing windows key + L

    Steps I have taken: I have the lock screen set to never timeout to. I have checked that windows is updated. I have reinstalled windows!

    I have looked in the event viewer. In there, there are many repetitions of logon (event 4624) and logoff (4634) Special Logon (4672) and User account management (4738) at the time it happens

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for any help!

    PC hibernates / goes into sleep mode upon logout / screen lock

    I am using my work computer. It's a laptop with a power connection (not running on battery.) The laptop is hocked up to two monitors (a total of three monitors, counting the laptop's own screen - I usually keep my laptop closed, however.)
    Since I am at work I always lock the screen when I leave my computer. (I use the windows+L shortcut to lock the screen.) This all works fine.

    However, after about a minute the computer goes into sleep mode / hibernation. At least I think it does, because the two monitors goes black - and it takes a few seconds to "wake up the system" (the monitors doesn't come back to life immediately when I press a key on the keyboard / move the mouse, as they would if a screen saver was active.)
    This is very annoying if I step away from my computer for only a short while (like going to the bathroom.)

    Here's what I want:
    With power (not running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 15 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    Without power (running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 5 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    My best bet is that this is some sort of power saving scheme thingie, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do what I want. Can someone please help me with a step-by-step guide to configure my system the way I want? Thank you.

    Computer stuck at lock screen and after Anniversary Update on Windows 10

    The first suggestion is not helpful since the problem is that we have many open programs stuck behind the lock screen.

    I have run into this problem and tried the On-screen keyboard but it does not help.

    An additional data point is that it does not matter what password is entered.

    Enter correct password -> spinner shows up, after about 30 seconds the spinner goes away and the screen remains locked.

    Enter blank password (simply hit Enter) -> same behaviour as above.

    The behaviour is the same whether using physical or On-screen keyboards.
