Windows 10: Why is my computer not locking?

For some reason, this week, after the reboot on Tuesday, my computer will not turn the screens off and will not lock. I have gone in and checked, and I have the screens turning off after 5 minutes, and the lock feature is enabled. When I reboot, it will turn the screens off, which gave me hope, but to no avail.What do I need to do to enable the lock function again?

Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer?

When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer

Under Windows Logs, Check out:
• Application
• Security, and
• System

See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.
