    I should mention i'm using it in a VM, which i assume shouldn't make a difference. Only think i can think of as a reason is my company somehow is overriding my policy with theirs? is there a way to confirm this?

    Stop windows from auto locking my desktop from inactivity

    I think i've tried about every guide and registry edit I could find on google but this problem still persists...

    I write music with some software and I often do not need to move my mouse. Windows assumes that I am not using my computer and locks the screen with my password automatically (after 10 minutes maybe?).

    I have tried changing power settings, user settings, every setting I can think of... I googled some answers suggesting registry edits and the like, but nothing seems to work. My computer just goes ahead and locks itself automatically.

    I WANT a password on my computer, but I DONT want it to automatically lock from inactivity.

  3. Auto rotation

    Hello,

    Let us isolate your concern by answering the questions below:

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Have you checked on the action center if there is a Rotation lock option?
    In the meantime, we suggest that you check the Screen Resolution display to check if there is a setting to allow the screen to auto-rotate. Here are the steps:

    • Go to Control Panel.
    • Search for Display and then click Change display settings.
    • Mark the checkbox beside Allow the screen to auto-rotate option if possible.
    • Click Apply and then OK.
    We are looking forward to your response.

    Windows 10 Pro fro Workstatins (64bit) 1709 16299.248 auto lock screen 1 minute

    Hi,

    My brand new laptop is going to lock screen after 1 minute inacivity.

    I have tried:

    - power managment settings

    - screen saver settings

    - lock screen settings

    After these steps I was going to hardcore as:

    - registry manipulating (screen saver, inactivity timer, powerscheme, etc.)

    - group policy settings (auto lock, timers, etc.)

    I thought I am a professional expert, however until today. My laptop is going to lock screen always.

    I hope anyone can help

    regards,
