Fixed: Windows 11 Locking Issue After 1 Minute Resolved.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can resolve this issue for me. I have attempted numerous solutions without success. The problem persists on my new Lenovo T16 laptop running a fresh installation of Windows 11. I have reset the BIOS, disabled hibernation using 'powercfg -h off,' and adjusted all power settings to prevent any sleep mode. Additionally, I have disabled the screensaver.

 

I have ensured that all Lenovo updates are installed, and there are no error flags in the Device Manager. There are no Group Policy Objects (GPO) configured for lock time or similar settings on the domain.

 

The issue occurs regardless of whether I log in with a local account or any other account. Therefore, it does not appear to be specific to a particular user profile. If it were, I would have already tried deleting and recreating my profile.

 

The problem only arises when the computer is left idle with no keyboard or mouse activity.

    I have the exact same issue with a samsung laptop.  I am an IT Professional for over 20 years and this one has me stumped.  Did you manage to figure it out ?
