    How to stop the Windows 10 Lock screen from constantly opening and disrupting my work.


    Windows 10 Lock screen is constantly disrupting my work. I have tried every fix I can find, yet it keeps locking my screen and closing the window I want to view. This has been going on for months. I've followed every instruction I could find to disable it including altering the registry, yet it still interupts me dozens of times a day and I constantly have to stop and punch in my code. Any suggestions you may have will be welcome. I've already tried all the known fixes I could find, but it keeps on coming back. Any suggestions for preventing the task bar from popping up on mouse over event

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
