    My screen locking itself while I'm using it.


    Hi,Good day! I have recently updated my Windows 10 to Windows 11 and it looks so great and fresh in my eyes.But when I started using it the screen keeps locking me up even if I'm using it. I already changed the time screen and sleep time but it keeps locking me out.To avoid my pc from locking I open a software Live 11 Ableton and keep it open even if I don't use it.I want to use my PC without opening this software.Please help me with this.Thank you in advance.

    :)

  2. Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

    Lock Screen Image Too Big

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Is this issue occurs only when the pictures are set from OneDrive?

    I suggest you to set the picture for the lock screen using the default lock screen pictures and check whether the issue persist or not, follow the below steps to set the pictures.

    • Go to “settings” and click on “personalization”.
    • Under “lock screen” tab, select the option from the drop box as “picture”.
    • Then under “choose your picture” option, click on any picture and go to the lock screen, check whether the issue persists or not.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
