Windows 10: Microsoft update locks my computer

The microsoft update on Windows 10 locked my computer. I had to revert back to before update. A few days later the same update automatically installed and locked the computer again. I reverted back again. I'm wondering how I prevent the update from happening and locking my computer for a third time. ***Move from Microsoft 365 and Office / Other / For business / Other***

Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer

Under Windows Logs, Check out:
• Application
• Security, and
• System

See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.
