  1. Lock Screen interruption during active use


    Of all the many many persistent and unsolved Win10 problems actively driving customers to switch operating systems, is this the most distracting and irritating? I can be typing, interacting with any application, watching a video, or playing a game, when my laptop goes to lockscreen requiring the password. This renders the operating system utterly infuriating, unreliable, and for many purposes frankly untrustworthy and useless. Having been a Windows customer since switching from Mac in 1995, the ever-increasing stockpile of Win10 issues is topped off with this final straw. This problem has been getting steadily worse for years. Regardless of settings which rightly are customisable to one's personal requirements, at no point ever should a computer return to lockscreen when being actively used, such as when typing. Forums across the internet show the ever-growing numbers seeking a meaningful solution to this nonsense and the most common solution offered is to disable the lockscreen. That is not a solution. I hope MS at some point will return to its historic ethos of caring for its domestic customers but for now, it shows no such intent. As I investigate which OS to migrate to, I hope MS begins providing solutions for their other customers. Windows used to seamlessly facilitate its customers, but now it is constantly in your face getting in the way, causing irritation and costing time.
