Windows 10 PCs goes to lock screen after 2 minutes
Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are safe and doing good!
Could you please help me by putting some light on what is causing the Windows 10 machines to lockout after 2 minutes of inactivity ?
We have issues with a few of our Windows 10 PCs where the screen locks after 2 minutes of inactivity and the user have to enter his\her credentials again to login in back to the system.
I have verified the below GPO settings and these settings are applied on all the Windows 10 computers but only around approx 20 windows computers out of 25000 computers are having this issue.
GPO settings are given below:
Screen saver timeout - set for 10 mins
Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit - Set for 10 mins
I see the Power troubleshooter fixed some issues on your computer. Was your original issue fixed as well?

Did you installed any new program or update drivers?
Try restart one of PCs and see if problem persist?
If possible, just for test remove one PC from Active Directory and set lock manually and see if problem persist?
Also check inactivity time for sleep.
There are no new programs installed and also no new update on drivers.
This issue occurs only on a few of the windows10 PCs and not on all the Windows 10 in the domain. ( I have compared the GPO in both working and non-working machines \users and everything is the same )
Inactivity for sleep for 30 mins and restarting PC is not helping in resolvin the issue.
Hello,
Please run Power troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot. Let me know what it reports back.
Regards.
