Laptop locks itself when I already change settings

[BCYTECH]

So this laptop here has been acting weird lately...
My battery here is spoil hence i directly connect to the wall plug and my setting has been changed to Never Sleep & Turn Off Screen.
But once I leave it for a while inactively a couple minutes, it will auto lock

Any suggestion how to fix?

Did you change the Power Plans in Control Panel?

Auto Lock = logs the current user out? Or does it just lock, like when you Press Win + L

This is new stupid and hidden feature that you must change. It's registry settings.

 

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Power / PowerSettings / 238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20 / 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0

 

Then change DWORD "Attributes" value from "1" to "2".

 

Then go to power options, change plan settings and go to "Sleep". You'll see "system unattended sleep timeout". Change it from 2 to whatever value you want.

Hi @homeap5, I got lost after the step you mention ...  ' 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0' ....
In the registry, I see a folder 'DefaultPowerSchemeValues' followed by another 3 folders inside.

Could you repeat & elaborate the step after that?

Not important (subkeys). Look at variables, do not enter deeper. Do not even open that last key.

 

Enter only that 7bc... key and look at right side of regedit.

 

I pixelated not imporatnt keys and entries.

Right click on "Attributes", choose "Modify" and enter "2".

Then new option in Power Settings will be active. Not even restart required.
