Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

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

• System

If you are signing in to the Microsoft account then you will have to login using the password. However, if you are logging in to the Local account then you may or may not type in the password. For the Microsoft account a password
is a must for the login. You may create a Local account without a password for login.

A local account is an account that lets you sign in to one PC only. If you create a local account, you'll need a separate account for each PC you use. None of your settings will be synchronized between the Windows 10 PCs you
use, and you won't get the benefits of connecting your PC to your files, settings, apps and services online in the cloud that are accessible from anywhere. You also won't be able to download apps from the Windows Store without a Microsoft account.

To login as a Local user account
on the computer, convert the Microsoft user account by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• Press Windows logo + I keys on the keyboard to open
  Settings window
• Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts, click on
  sign in with a local account instead option.
• Enter your old Microsoft account's password and click on Next.
• Type in Password, and
  Password Hint that you want set for your local account and click
  Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.
• Login to check if the changes are effective.
