    I changed my PIN and now my computer keeps locking?


    A few days ago, I got prompted to change my PIN on my windows 10 desktop PC once I turned it on to do some work on it. I went ahead and changed it but now it locks after a few minutes of inactivity and displays my lock screen picture so I have to keep logging back in. I have my lock screen settings and sleep settings both set to "never" so my screen should always be on where I left it if I step away from my computer for a while. I've never had this issue before and I have no clue how to fix it; I updated my computer to make sure that wasn't causing it and it still keeps doing it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!

    :)
