Deactivate the log in screen

I reformatted my PC a couple of days ago and it was fine for awhile then after sitting idle for awhile the log in screen came on. Now it happens when I sit here for a couple of minutes. I found a way to turn it off when I first bought the PC, now my notes do not work. I have found all kinds of ways for turning it on, but nothing to shut the display off permanently and I know it can be done. I have screen saver set to none, sleep and hibernate set to never. any suggestions.

Hello Vala, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It sounds like you may need to double check and make sure that the On resume, display logon screen box is unchecked in Screen Saver Settings. Even with "(None)" selected for the screen saver, it will still go to the log on screen after X idle minutes if this box is checked.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Vala,

Not any more it seems. If you turn on screen saver password (on resume, display logon screen), it will go straight to the logon screen if you have (None) selected for your screen saver.

That's great news. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted. :)
