  1. Computer keeps locking after 2 minutes no matter what settings I choose. How to change time...


    I have been getting more progressively frustrated at this issue as the weeks in lock-down have progressed. If I step away from the PC for more than 2 minutes it will lock me out and I will have to reenter my password.

    Power and sleep settings are set to turn off screen after 30 minutes, I am in performance mode power settings and am at a loss as to how I can get it to just keep me logged on for the duration that I desire.

    Can anyone help me with this?
