Windows 10: Desktop Locks After 5 Minutes of Inactivity

So after the latest update my computer has been locking after 5 minutes of inactivity. I have looked through all the power options and sleep timers and no matter what I do I cannot seem to turn this feature off. This is happening to a friend of mine as well so I'm wondering if this is an actual feature of the update and not just a weird bug caused by it.

If this does happen to be a feature then is there any new setting to turn it off?

How to set auto logout after 5 minutes of screen inactivity?

Our firm just upgraded our conference room computer to Windows 10. We set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity, but we prefer to keep the computer on and set it to never fall asleep, so automatic updates aren't interrupted.

For security reasons however, we would like the computer to automatically log out after the screen is inactive for 5 minutes. The only relevant setting that I've been able to find is under Settings --> Accounts --> Sign In Options:

I only have two options here:

• When PC wakes up from sleep
• Never

Neither of these work for us, since we set the computer to never sleep. Are there any other options available that would allow us to a) keep the computer from sleeping b) log out automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity?

Thanks!

 

why the 5 minutes break?

Hi all, I don’t know if this is a known matter and if there’s a solution.

Normal procedure for locking keypad and unlocking:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to be locked,
• I press Unlock key (here it’s menu key) and * key (star key) then enter correct Security code 12345.
• Phone is Unlocked.

Nothing’s easy then this. But what if I type wrong codes for a few times just as a test:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to lock,
• I press unlock key and * key and enter random wrong codes for a few times (NOT 12345),
• phone is still Locked due to wrong Security codes with message “Code error”. Good!
• Now I press Unlock key and *key and this time I enter correct Security code 12345 then ok.
• But Phone is still Locked with message “Code error”!!!! I retry entering correct Security code 12345 again with no luck.
• what do I do? I waited 5 minutes and retried entering Security code 12345 again and OMG this time it’s Unlocked. Good.
• to make sure of this, I repeated steps 1 to 7 and same matter.

Why does the phone lock itself completely on me for 5 minutes that's after a few Erroneous security code test attempts (maybe 3 or 5) even if after this I directly enter correct Code 12345 but it's still locked??

Is there any extra Security code in this case? how to let the phone accept the correct code before 5 minutes?
