Stop computer from locking Windows 10 automatically

Does your Windows PC gets locked automatically too often? If that’s the case, then its probably because of some setting in the computer is triggering the lock screen to appear, and that is locking out Windows 10, even when you leave it inactive for a short duration.

Stop computer from automatically locking Windows 10

If your PC is getting locked automatically, then you need to disable the lock screen from appearing automatically, by following these suggestions for Windows 10:

1. Disable or Change Lock Screen timeout settings
2. Disable Dynamic Lock
3. Disable Blank Screensaver
4. Change System unattended sleep timeout

These tips might sound too naive, but trust me, sometimes these small settings, especially those default values, create more problems.

1] Disable or Change Lock Screen timeout settings

You need to disable the Lock Screen. You can use our Ultimate Windows Tweaker to do it with a click! You will find the setting to Disable Lock Screen under Customization > Modern UI > Lock Screen.

If you do not want to disable it, check the sleep timeout settings, screen timeout settings, screensaver, and so on. These are the basic settings that you should check.

2] Disable Dynamic Lock

Apart from using PIN or Password, you can also use Dynamic lock. It is useful for those who keep forgetting locking the device. Dynamic lock uses Bluetooth devices. Every time the Bluetooth device is out of range, the computer is locked. So make sure the device is nearby or uncheck the option which says, “Allow Windows to lock your device when you’re away automatically.”

3] Disable Blank Screensaver

If you use a screensaver, ensure that it’s not set as blank. The problem is that you will never know that a screensaver is running.

• Type Screensaver in the Search bar
• Click on Change Screensaver
• In the dropdown, check if it is set to blank.
• If yes, change it to None.

Press Apply and exit.

4] Change System unattended sleep timeout

Available under Power Settings, the System unattended sleep timeout setting is the idle timeout before the system returns to low power sleep state. The default time is set to 2 minutes for both, i.e., when running on batteries and plugged. Change it to a higher value, so that the PC doesn’t get into Sleep mode too quickly.

If the setting doesn’t appear in Power Settings, you can manually add it using PowerShell and Registry

PowerShell method

Use Win + X and then select PowerShell(admin)

Type the following and hit Enter:

Registry method

Open Registry Editor and navigate to:

Change the value of the “Attributes” key from 1 to 2. This will enable the System unattended sleep timeout in the Power Options.

Now you can change this setting.

We hope these tips were useful enough for you to resolve the problem where your Windows 10 PC keeps getting locked automatically.

How to fix broken window lock

Hello. I have an old bathroom window lock that just broke. See the photos for the offending parts. Reinserting the handle is totally lose, so clearly a part is missing or maybe fell into the lock housing. It’s a bathroom window that is, for now, permanently closed.

Can this be repaired and can I even get replacement parts for this?

I also don’t know how to unlock the window in this situation. I ran a putty knife along the inside track but did not hit any locking mechanism.

The pivot for the single lock arm is likely not where you think. there is sometimes a long linkage that attaches to the handle, so your putty knife may need to slide a lot higher or lower before it hits anything.

A different kind of lock is directly actuated behind the latch. you would feel it directly behind the broken latch. If you felt nothing, I’m guessing it is the linkage style.

You can also drill a hole through the face of the casement lock and can usually stick a screwdriver straight in that new hole and pry either up or down, depending on which way the lock needs to go.

Here are 2 similar threads.

Thanks for the reply. So are these Jen-Weld parts? I live in Ottawa, and there is one near us.

Assuming I drill the hole (in the middle?), that would provide a mechanical fix, but to repair I’m guessing I would need replacement parts.

Added: that picture of the linkage is really helpful.

No, I can’t say that for sure. You would need to open a casement window that still works and examine a working latch. Windows are often hard to identify. I would look for a watermark etch in the corner of the glass or a stamp on the aluminum spacer between the glass for a clue as to the mfg. Some windows will have an NFRC sticker hidden in the top of the window, but you would need to get the window open to look.

Finding parts is often a matter of comparing the style and shape of the latch to the parts available online. many parts are used by multiple mfg’s.

Yes, you obviously are going to need an entirely new latch, so destroying the old one to get the window open is just half the battle.

You’ve been so helpful, thanks.

So I found the catch point between the window and the linkage with the putty knife. On another thread, someone wrote they used a hammer. I’m not sure which way to hammer it. I’m also concerned I might damage the window frame, etc.

If I were to drill the casing, would that be best done top, middle, or bottom, and on the side facing out or the side perpendicular to the window? Assuming I do that, is opening it a one-shot deal? By that I mean, if I get it open, is it staying open, or could I re-lock it with screwdriver until I get the parts, etc.?

ADDED: Windows are Ostopovich 1994. That’s probably not a good thing.

In most cases, tapping the linkage down is the same thing as raising the latch up.

I can’t say if you have one shot or not. It depends if the linkage pivot is still there or if it has fallen away. You have to open the window either way to take the screws out which hold the latch. You can’t really force a casement window open even if it is unlocked because the crank arm prevents it from opening. so I would not be too worried even if you happen to not be able to lock it.

If I was doing it I would probably cut the entire front off of the latch and open it up. That way you can get a pair of needle nose in there and have a better chance of locking it again. You may be able to open it with a putty knife but I bet you will need the pliers to lock it again.

Drilling works best with the other kind of latch. doesn’t sound like yours. So forget about drilling. If you were going to drill, it would be right in the front, not another hole on the side. And you have to be careful when you drill not to blow right through and screw up the vinyl inside. So maybe forget the drilling.

Sorry you’re having problems with it, I know they can be a pain.

Lock pages in memory

Applies to

Describes the best practices, location, values, policy management, and security considerations for the Lock pages in memory security policy setting.

Reference

This policy setting determines which accounts can use a process to keep data in physical memory, which prevents the computer from paging the data to virtual memory on a disk.

Normally, an application running on Windows can negotiate for more physical memory, and in response to the request, the application begins to move the data from RAM (such as the data cache) to a disk. When the pageable memory is moved to a disk, more RAM is free for the operating system to use.

Enabling this policy setting for a specific account (a user account or a process account for an application) prevents paging of the data. Thereby, the amount of memory that Windows can reclaim under pressure is limited. This could lead to performance degradation.

Note:В В By configuring this policy setting, the performance of the Windows operating system will differ depending on if applications are running on 32-bit or 64-bit systems, and if they are virtualized images. Performance will also differ between earlier and later versions of the Windows operating system.

Possible values

• User-defined list of accounts
• Not defined

Best practices

Best practices are dependent on the platform architecture and the applications running on those platforms.

Location

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment

Default values

The following table lists the actual and effective default policy values for the most recent supported versions of Windows. Default values are also listed on the policy’s property page.

Server type or GPO	Default value
Default Domain Policy	Not defined
Default Domain Controller Policy	Not defined
Stand-Alone Server Default Settings	Not defined
Domain Controller Effective Default Settings	Not defined
Member Server Effective Default Settings	Not defined
Client Computer Effective Default Settings	Not defined

Policy management

This section describes features, tools, and guidance to help you manage this policy.

A restart of the computer is not required for this policy setting to be effective.

Any change to the user rights assignment for an account becomes effective the next time the owner of the account logs on.

Group Policy

Settings are applied in the following order through a Group Policy Object (GPO), which will overwrite settings on the local computer at the next Group Policy update:

1. Local policy settings
2. Site policy settings
3. Domain policy settings
4. OU policy settings

When a local setting is greyed out, it indicates that a GPO currently controls that setting.

Security considerations

This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation.

Vulnerability

Users with the Lock pages in memory user right could assign physical memory to several processes, which could leave little or no RAM for other processes and result in a denial-of-service condition.

Countermeasure

Do not assign the Lock pages in memory user right to any accounts.

Potential impact

None. Not defined is the default configuration.
