    Computer Goes to Sleep When It Shouldn't


    I have all my power settings to never go to sleep and when I leave my computer on unattended for about 20 minutes I come back and see the password screen. That may be ok as long as I don't lose any work in progress, but I would like to control this or at least understand it. Thanks.

    Hello J Walker,

    You might check to see if you a screen saver enabled, or have password protection enabled for a screen saver. If you do, then you can just disable password protection.

    Screen Saver Password Protection -Enable or Disable

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    I followed the instructions in the link and that surely should have fixed the issue with the log on screen. Thanks!
