    Computer goes to sleep and require logon


    After so many minutes of non-use my computer will go to sleep and require logon when it is awoken.

    I have checked my settings. My screen saver is on, but it is not set to require a logon.

    I don't care if it goes to sleep - I do not want the logon.

    Just started this yesterday. I don't know what has changed. It is a new pc.

    I FOUND IT - THANKS! It was in the advanced settings under power plans. Stupid Dell power plan was over riding my settings.
