Windows 10: Computer keeps locking for no apparent reaosn

Hey guys. So recently my computer has been locking itself, mostly while playing games. The screen says locking for a split second, then shuts the display off. I cant tell you enough how annoying this is. Even weirder still, when I reboot the computer and enter my pin the only thing that pops up is the .cmd prompt. I can get full access back by running explorer.exe as a new task. What the he'll is going on here? Any help is greatly appreciated.

• Did you notice any changes on the computer prior to experiencing this issue?
  
• When you say that the computer keeps locking, does it happen due to inactivity or does it happen while you’re working on the computer?
  
• Does the computer go into sleep mode or does it lock the currently logged-in user account?
  
• After the computer is locked or after it goes into sleep mode, what happens when you try to sign in to your system or try to wake the system up?

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.
