I already disabled sleep on my windows laptop but from time to time it still enters lock screen. I like to know where to disable this feature.

p.s. I have tried to disable the sliding lock screen with no luck. It still requires me to enter the password. I don't want to disable the password but I want to prevent the system from locking the system.

  • No no, I have tried to disable the sliding lock screen with no luck. It still requires me to enter the password. I don't want to disable the password but I want to prevent the system from locking the system. – Aero Windwalker Aug 26 '16 at 19:10
  • There are two screens in question. The first is the lock screen, after you click on the screen, the second screen is where you logon. Provide us a screenshot of the screen in question your trying to get rid of. – Ramhound Aug 26 '16 at 19:12
  • If you have the Anniversary Update and either Pro or Home, you cannot disable the lock screen. There is no registry hack like there was before the update. – BillDOe Aug 26 '16 at 19:13
  • Bill is 100% correct. The duplicat question is the closest you can get. – Ramhound Aug 26 '16 at 19:14

    Do you have a screensaver set (even to "none"), with "On resume, display logon screen" check marked? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Aug 26 '16 at 19:14
  • The monitor turning off and the screenshot being set are two seperate group polciies so @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 you might be on to something. Both can cause Windows to lock depending on the security settings. – Ramhound Aug 26 '16 at 21:05
  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 it is off. – Aero Windwalker Aug 27 '16 at 15:22
  • @BillOertell no I don't think there was an anniversary update installed. – Aero Windwalker Aug 27 '16 at 15:23
  • @Ramhound the one that asks you to enter password. – Aero Windwalker Aug 27 '16 at 15:23

Just based on the fact you want to keep the laptop on all the time, I assume you use remote desktop control to access the laptop, and likely from a mac. Once you do that, Windows will automatically lock the system if the laptop is inactive. This is really a bug and currently these is no fix.
