Windows 365 disconnects on lock, possible to change timeout?
I know this is an old thread, but I have the same issue. I have created the config profile as mentioned and still our user sessions disconnect after 15 minutes.
I see the registry key change to the time I specified in the config profile. Just does not seem to work for me, unless they (MS) have implemented something else to force this 15 minute rule
jpope76 Hi, we are still using the same config with success:
When we struggled with this we did some testing to verify. Playing a long youtube video also kept the session from unlocking. (This is by design from MS, the sessions is active while the video is playing). Maybe you could use this test to see if there is something else locking the session.

That is the exact same setting I have as I mentioned, but it still disconnects after 15 minutes. I have it set to 2 hours.
Can't really tell users to keep playing youtube clips to keep their session active, though that does keep it from locking from testing.- Christian_Montoya

jpope76 , CM42 , Joachim500 , Mark_Albin - Hi folks!
Actually, to prevent the Remote Desktop session from disconnecting without input, apply the following configuration (through Settings Catalog):
- Path: Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
- Setting: Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
The easy search term is active but idle. You then have options for what to configure it to, and you can apply it to the user or the device. Please let me know if this works for you!
