  1. Displays rearrange and open window locations change on screen lock in a domain environment


    This issue started several months ago and I have yet to find a solution. Essentially, every time my computer locks at least one of these issues occur if not a combination of them. We have multiple users in our office with the exact same issue and none of us have found a solution to this issue. We all have multiple displays connected via a combination of VGA / VGA Display Port Adapters. All HW is HP based. All monitors are HP. All device FW/BIOS/Drivers are up to date from HW vendors directly where possible if HP did not provide the latest drivers.


    Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise

    Version: 1803

    Build: 17134.81


    Issues:
    1) Display numbering randomly changes which changes mouse movement across all displays (reboot resolves / manually changing resolves)

    2) Display positioning changes, numbers stay the same however, location changes (reboot resolves / manually changing resolves)

    3) Any open applications change screens

    4) Open applications minimize randomly


    As you can imagine these issues are extremely frustrating. I am at the point that this is a Microsoft issue even though they are notorious about blaming others for their issues. At this point I hate Windows 10 the only reason I continue to use it is our companies reliance on Microsoft Software. Is this really the great Windows 10 vision of the future, constant random/weird problems with no explanation or attempts to fix. It seems as though every update that Microsoft is pushing out creates a new round of problems as if they are doing no testing what so ever. I am sick of being a Beta tester and just want a stable effective product.


    Unrelated side note no one in the Buisness community wants all of the built in apps. They are all mostly garbage or games.

    Change Lock Screen Display Off Timeout in Windows 10


    It won't send you to the lock screen when the timeout has been reached.

    Console lock display off timeout is the amount of minutes Windows will wait idle with no activity while on the lock screen when a user locks the computer before timing out and automatically turning off the display.

    You might see if these below may be turning off the display instead.
