  1. Why does win10/11 screen lock cause my laptop to go really slow after unlocking ?


    For years I've seen an issue where after unlocking a locked screen all my apps perform exceptionally slowly. Particular Teams, Outlook, Word, Even Excel, PowerPoint and Chrome can slow right down.Its as if the OS has gone into power save mode during screen lock, but then fails to wake up afterwards. I've adjusted the power setting to have the Disk never go offline even when in sleep mode etc. But this makes no difference.The only resolution is a restart, again its intermittent. the OS can go for a good few days fine before this behaviours starts; Or it can even be the first screen lock af

    Unlocked Lock screen showing before screen off

    hi

    this is a bit of strange one - on my new Zenbook i noticed that the lockscreen shows up BEFORE the pc goes to screen off - there is no screen saver configured in settings or aynthjing

    and the weird part is that it's unlocked also, so you can click ENTER or spacebar or a click of the mouse and it shows the desktop so it's like a "fake" lock screen lol... but it's genuine, no fake screens,etc

    Win + L works perfectly etc.

    if i change the screen saver setting instead

    like this then it goes to lock screen and it's actually locked for example after a minute.

    I have another laptop, and it never shown the UNLOCKED lock screen before going in power off - which is set to 10 minutes.

    anyone has an idea? it's just odd

    cheers,
