    Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

    Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

    When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer

    Under Windows Logs, Check out:
    • Application
    • Security, and
    • System

    See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.

    Hi,

    Do let us know if you are able to see any error message/ error code with locking the computer.

    Let us try the below steps to unlock and check if it helps.

    • I suggest you to restart the computer, try to unlock and check if the issue persists.
    • Use On-screen keyboard to type in your password and check if it helps.
    Click on the Ease of access on the lock screen at the right-bottom corner, turn on
    On-screen keyboard to type the password.

    Hope it helps. Try the above and update us the status of unlocking the device for further assistance.

    Thank you.
