    How to Lock windows 10


    I need to be able to lock my computer so a password is needed to regain access. I DO NOT want it to go to sleep. Everything I try puts it to sleep. I want it to lock after a assigned amount of time and require my 4 digit passcode to unlock it.


    Thank you and God bless

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
