Windows 10: Updated windows, now it automatically signs me out after 2 minutes idle. Changed power...

I had to change a registry to even have access to the settings to change that ridiculous feature. Now my computer still loses my work every time I look away for more than two minutes, but now it breaks completely and has to restart as well. It’s infuriating and I would really appreciate any help. Model is MSI GE62 Apache.

sign out on idle

I think this may be what you are looking for. I don't think it will actually sign off the user, it may, but it requires a log on (user name/password or pin) after a key is pressed or the mouse wiggled. Uses the Lock Screen and a screensaver method. A blank (none, black) screensaver can be used if you don't want a display. You can choose any time interval you like. Give it a look and see if it might suit. Here's an excerpt and the link. TC

Follow the steps below and check if it works. This uses 5 minutes, but you can choose what you want.

Step 1: Right click on the desktop, and select Personalize option.
Step 2: From the left side panel click on Lock Screen and select Screen saver settings.
Step 3: From the drop down bar under screen saver select an option.
Step 4: Check the box On resume, display logon screen, change the number to 5 in the Wait box.
Step 5: Click on Apply,and OK.

windows automatic updates

i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?
