Windows screen keeps locking no matter what I do

  Help - Question by Anonymous

So my windows screen is now locking after a few minutes no matter what I do. Its not anything related to the settings, it never used to do this before so it must have been a windows update bug that now causes this to happen.

Its really annoying, I walk away from my computer and come back and in 2 minutes I now have to enter password and go past that sign on screen over and over throughout the day.

I have gone through all my power settings and locking settings and everything is set at much higher times yet the screen locking happens after a few minutes over and over.

Any idea how to fix this?

I had this exact same problem and it happened after a windows update, like you said this has to be a windows screen bug of some sort. After searching around for 2 hours (thanks Microsoft) I fixed it on mine by going into screensaver settings and even though you have the screensaver set to "None", bump up the time on the screensaver to a much higher time. That fixed it on mine. Also click that box next to it so its unchecked where it says something about show lock screen upon return.  Its clearly a windows bug.
