  • Lock Screen

    From pinnerite@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 2 13:30:43 2023
    Whenever I pause for several minutes, I return to find the scrren at the lock screen beach picture.
    I have sleep set to never, so what is causing this?
    Can it be stopped?

    TIA

    I can prevent my Windows computer from going to sleep or lock screen by
    playing a video continuously. I set the video player to "repeat forever"
    and turn the player's volume to 1 out of 100. That's not audible to
    humans but the minuscule audio output can prevent my Bluetooth speaker
    from disconnecting (To save internal LiPo battery power, my Bluetooth
    speaker will disconnect if it detects no audio).

    You may want to try that trick and see if it works for you too.

    Hiberation enabled?
    Balanced Power Plan?
    Admin controlled device(work or school)?
    System Unattended Timeout setting present in Power Options for Sleep?

    You want to reset the ScreenSaver not Sleep

    I had forgotten the word hibernate!

    This link should solve. Time will tell.

    Is it the lock screen, or the screen saver with password? As I recall,
    the lock screen settings are under Power & Sleep options (or also in
    Power Options where the screen could be a separate setting, or part of
    your power saving plan).

    In the Start Menu, enter "lock screen" to see those settings, and select "Screen timeout settings". After checking those screen and PC power
    settings, click on "Additional power settings" to look at your power
    plan settings (click on "Change plan settings" do see those for screen,
    and you can then even click on "Changed advanced power settings" to get
    more details on your chosen power plan). Also, enter "screen saver" in
    the Start Menu to see those settings.

    Some monitors also have their own power saving feature. You didn't
    mention which brand and model you have, but you could get the online
    manual for it to check if it has its own power settings independing of
    whatever OS you load. It's also possible the ancilliary software you
    installed for your video card includes a screen saver/lock option.
