Hello all,<\/p>\n
We’ve recently rolled out an deployment of Win10 1803 on ~200 machines (Education N edition).<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, we’re getting complaints form staff daily about the computers locking automatically after ~4 minutes. We’ve no software that should be doing this, and we’ve tried setting the inactive timeout on windows to various values (0min, 9999min, etc.) all to no avail - staff are still being signed out automatically.<\/p>\n
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated as I’ll finally stop pulling my hair out over the 20 tickets per day…<\/p>\n
Many Thanks<\/p>","upvoteCount":9,"answerCount":7,"datePublished":"2018-09-10T12:44:49.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"oflaherty","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/oflaherty"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

First thoughts are either power settings or lock times through Group Policy. They could even be under the Default Domain Policy (generally gets overlooked and not advisable to change these settings because of that).<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2018-09-10T12:48:50.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/windows-10-machines-locking-themselves/672266/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jimmy-t","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/jimmy-t"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
I would try GPResult /h first. That should show the policy changing your timeout settings.<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2018-09-10T12:53:21.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/windows-10-machines-locking-themselves/672266/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"justin1250","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/justin1250"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
