I have tried EVERY possible option I can think of, so if anyone has any ideas, please...

If I don't move my mouse, or type anything for 1 minute, Windows 7 automatically brigs me to the log-in screen / change user screen (locks the pc).

I have set all the power settings for sleep, hibernate, dim, turn of HDD to none, or never. I also do not have a log-in password for my username (there is only one user).

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this happens. I'm sure there's some setting I'm just not seeing, and I'm pretty sure I'll be looking like a noob in no time, but for once Google couldn't help me.....

Thanks

Check your screen saver, even tho there is no screen saver selected, check to see if the "on resume, logon screen is checked, if it is, un-check it, then click apply.:cool:

Do you have your screensaver set to "On resume, display logon screen"?

:eek: This never happened...


Thanks, though.

(In my defense, my screensaver was set to "None," which is why I didn't think of looking there. :redface:)

I've accidentally checked it enough times. I know how annoying it is to be kicked back to the logon screen.;)
