  1. Sleep and lock screen settings problem


    Hi,My computer screen locks after about 5 minutes no matter what I change in my computer's power, lock screen and sleep settings. I have to log in again every time my computer monitor goes to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.At this point I believe the problem might be because I have 2 separate microsoft accounts. The first is my "company" microsoft account the one that is installed and managed by my work IT dept. while the other is my "personal" microsoft account.Is it possible that some of the sleep and/or lock screen settings are controlled by my "company" account and that they overide

    :)

    Sleep and lock screen settings problem

    Lock Screen Not Locking


    Hey Guys I've had some issues with the Windows 10 lock screen on my Surface Book. When I close the lid it's to set to sleep. When I open the lid half of the time it will use the camera to verify, and half of the time it will have just say swipe lock screen and provides no security. Also, when the screen times out it wont lock when a key is pressed to turn it back on, rather it just goes straight back into the desktop. I've looked through all the setting regarding the lock screen and sleep settings and haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

    -Cheers
