When I'm not using my PC for a while it will shut down or go to the lockscreen. I checked some settings to see if my settings are set to turn off when inactive but it is set to never.

 

That is what Windows is set to do automatically by default.

If you want to turn that off, or customize it, it is done through Personalize >> Lock Screen >> Screen Timeout Settings
