    Goes to sleep in 10 seconds after lock despite all settings otherwise


    Hello,

    When I lock my computer, it goes to sleep almost immediately despite changing all settings otherwise. I have tried the following:

    Change power settings to "never sleep"

    Set screen saver to "none" and turn off the "wait until x minutes to turn off display" option

    Hibernate is off in the registry

    I've altered the registry to add the "Console lock display off" option and then set it to many many minutes as per (Power Options - Add )

    I've altered the inactivity limit using gpedit.msc also as per the comments section of the above link

    None of these work. I am running the Windows 10 Anniversary build. AMD motherboard with Raedon R7 graphics card.

    Any ideas of anything else to try? I don't want to fully disable the sleep command.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Surface Pro 3/Windows 10 lock screen issue

    My surface pro 3 on windows 10 goes to lock screen after 1 minute. I have all of the power settings set to sleep/shut down never on charge and it still goes to lock screen after 1 minute. This is so frustrating.

    Windows 10 Reboots After Updates Install

    Despite selecting Notify to Schedule Restart, Windows 10 shuts down after installing updates. Similar problem to the Power Settings - where the computer goes to sleep despite being set to never sleep.

    Anyone have a work around?
