    Disable inactive lock screen.


    Good afternoon,

    I've got a feeling I'm missing something really basic but I am unable to disable the lock screen that appears after approx 5 minutes of inactivity.
    I've used registry and deactivated it following tutorials but that has only stopped the lock screen on start up.

    I'm sure I've got it turned off in settings but it still appears.
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Windows 10 Home.

    :)

    Windows 10 locks after inactivity

    We have two computers that act as registers at my place of business that we need to not go to the lock screen due to inactivity. Using the GPOs on the domain server I've applied GPOs to disable password protecting the screen saver as well as to not require
    a password on wake up.

    On one computer it works on the other it does not and the computer continues to lock. I've checked the rsop.msc as well as the power plan settings and they are all correctly set. I've also tried completely disabling the screen saver and it still goes to the
    lock screen after inactivity. Doesn't even sleep just locks. The only difference between these two systems is that the one that doesn't work is 32bit (no idea if that has anything to do with it) but it only started locking after upgrading to windows 10. Windows
    7 was fine.

    If anyone has any suggestions or an answer I have been unable to find anything related to this subject where the suggestion isn't just to disbable lock on screen saver, disable the screen saver, or disable lock screen on wakeup in the power settings. (All of
    these have been done)

    Windows 10 1709 Professional Lock Screen

    I want to force a GPO on my AD network to lock windows after 15 minutes of inactivity. The new GPO Templates for Windows 10 all say the screen saver options will be disabled in the future. Is there a way to initiate the lock screen after 15 minutes? I
    tried setting interactive logon to 900 seconds but that didn't do anything. I just want it to lock!! why is MS taking away the GP options for screen saver time out / require logon after screensaver?
