Windows 7 How do I stop Win 7 from logging me out to the PW screen automatically

[ddmannion]

I have a new Desktop with Windows 7. After I start the computer and leave it running for a while, (10 to 15min), it will automatically revert to the password screen. Also it won't go to screen saver. I have the screensaver set to not require password after waking. Also I have my power settings set to high performance. Also i have my Nic card configured so that it isn't allowed to be turned off. Still happening all the time. Super frustrating.

Go to the Control Panel, then Power Options. More than likely your system is going into "Sleep" mode. I believe that's the default settings for Windows 7.

Regardless, check the settings and adjust them to your liking. Click SAVE and you should be all set then.

I was having the same issue the High Performance settings but reset to default then tweaked again and it's all good now.
