    Windows 10 Randomly Locks itself, even while activley typing on my laptop.


    Hello,Im hoping that this is just a windows issue and not hardware, but Ive been having an issue with my laptop over the last few months where it will flash a black screen, show desktop for a second, then go black again and eventually pop up on the lock screen after about 10 seconds. From there, I can log in and everything is where I left it. It used to happen maybe once a day, but now I cant get through an hour with it happening atleast once. It doesnt seem to happen with any particular pattern or interval, just at random. It doesnt matter if im watching a youtube video, or actively typing an

    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

    Windows 10 laptop locks itself randomly battery drains

    I have a Windows 10 laptop, my laptop keeps locking randomly and then when I turn it back on it won't turn on until I charge it (battery just drained after it locks) when though it was at 100%. Then I charge when it's dead and it goes to 100% in a few minutes. I checked battery and health is good not sure what problem is. It randomly locks up
