Windows 10: Screen times out even though it is set to never time out

Split from this thread.​

I have exactly the same problem. It started for no apparent reason. I called Microsoft support and they reloaded Windows 10 but the problem still persists. The only time I do not have a problem is in Powerpoint slide presentation mode. If I have apps running they still run in the background.


If I am quick and rapidly move the mouse it reverts back to the application. The only way out of the problem once it occurs is to Ctrl, Alt, Delete. You are then presented with the log in screen.


On a long session on my desktop it can occur dozens of times.
