Problem solved by Ramhound
All PCs in my domain lock after the wait time in the screensaver settings. If I set the wait time to 1 minute the PC locks after 1 minute.
The PC locks after 1 minute. The screensaver is disabled.
I don't want either the screen locking nor a screensaver. The computer should stay on and be operable.
I have disabled screensavers locally and with my GPO. I am in control of the GPOs.
Screensaver settings locally:
Screensaver None
On resume, display logon screen Disabled
Screensaver settings GPO:
Enable screen saver Disabled
Prevent changing screen saver Enabled
Other GPO settings
I disabled the "enforce user logon restrictions" Kerberos policy.
Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit is not defined. I will test if setting it to 0 will fix my problem. It fixed my problem.
Where do I find password protect the screen saver and screen saver timeout?
The GPO power plan is as follows:
| When computer is: | Plugged in | Running on batteries |
|---|---|---|
| Require a password on wakeup: | No | No |
| Turn off hard disk after: | Never | Never |
| Sleep after: | Never | Never |
| Allow hybrid sleep: | Off | Off |
| Hibernate after: | Never | Never |
| Lid close action: | Sleep | Sleep |
| Power button action: | Shutdown | Shutdown |
| Start menu power button: | Hibernate | Hibernate |
| Link State Power Management: | Moderate power savings | Maximum power savings |
| Minimum processor state: | After 5 minutes | After 5 minutes |
| Maximum processor state: | After 100 minutes | After 100 minutes |
| Turn off display after: | Never | Never |
| Adaptive display: | On | On |
| Critical battery action: | Do nothing | Shutdown |
| Low battery level: | After 10 minutes | After 10 minutes |
| Critical battery level: | After 5 minutes | After 5 minutes |
| Low battery notification: | Off | Off |
| Low battery action: | Do nothing | Do nothing |
Are there GPO settings that interfere with this? What should I change?
