Windows 10: My Laptop keeps locking while in use.

My laptop started locking itself for the first time a month ago, while I was playing a video game. At first i thought this wont matter, because it only happened once, but then it began to lock itself daily and now even multiple times a day. It also at first only locked while using one Application, but now it doesn't matter what im using it could be writing something in word, or playing a game like Valorant. I already turned all the setting in the power and sleep tab to never and checked my Display adapters to their newest drivers, but it still keeps happening. This is hurts my work pretty hard, because it interrupts my streams or simply costs me a lot of time and nerves.

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.
