Windows 10 Creators Update - lock screen timeout

Before the Creator's update, I had my desktop set to turn off the display and lock the screen after 10 minutes. Now the display turns off, but the screen is not locked. I tried the suggestion:

• Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type these commands and press Enter afterwards:
  • powercfg.exe /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_VIDEO VIDEOCONLOCK 60
    
  • powercfg.exe /SETACTIVE SCHEME_CURRENT
• Note that the 60 is the number of seconds your prefer.
• Exit Command Prompt and lock your screen. Observe if the changes will take effect.

This does not lock the screen on my system. I rebooted after I made the change. I did change the time from 60 to 600.

 

Windows 10 - Active Time 100% - Read Speed 0 KB/s - Write Speed 0 KB/s - for exactly 60 seconds

I have recently conducted a fresh reinstall of Microsoft Windows 10 Home - none of my hardware has changed.

I am getting sporadic freeze-ups of the operating system. These freeze-ups appear to last for exactly 60 seconds.

I have attempted to diagnose the issue using Task Manager- under the
Performance tab I can see the freezes coincide with Disk 0 (C hitting 100% active time - for exactly 60 seconds (I can see this because the graph is '60 seconds across').

The Active Time is 100 %, the Average Response Time is 0 ms, the
Read Speed is 0 KB/s, and the Write Speed is 0 KB/s.

What I have tried so far:

• Disabling the Page file for C:.
• Running System File Checker /SFC with administrative privileges.
• Running Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM)
• Disabling several services: Windows Search and Superfetch.
• Checked SMART status of SSD using Kingston SSD Toolbox.
• Updated Windows using Windows Update.
• Run Windows Troubleshooter - System Maintenance.

What do people recommend my next steps should be?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
