Windows 10: Lock screen keeps on popping up even after settings changed to never

My windows 11 laptop has started locking up randomly after no use after approx 1 minute of no use when I'm running an application. I've tried changing all settings to never, updated BIOS and more but still, it keeps on locking up.

Lock Screen keeps changing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
   Picture.
   
5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
