    After one minute of inactivity screen gets black and Windows lock


    Hi,
    for a few weeks I have this specific problem: When I don't do anything on the my notebook for one minute, the screen gets black for a few seconds and then goes on but computer is lock. During these few seconds I can do something for ex. move the mouse and everything comes back to normal. But if I don't computer lock.

    It reminds me the power scheme settings but everything is set to never there. I have google this but haven't find anything so please help me!

    Regards

    Select Personalize from the context menu.

    In the lower right corner, click on the link named Screen Saver.

    Uncheck On resume, display logon screen

    Set the time for the screen saver - if desired.

    Click on OK to save those settings.
