I have been running Windows 10 for about a month, almost every time I close down the Toshiba laptop (my only computer running Windows 10) I get an error message show in the attachment.

This Toshiba is Qosmio X500-116, it has - Intel® Core™ i7 i7-720QM Processor

2 x hard drives - 8192 MB (4096 + 4096) DDR RAM (1066MHZ)

Until I installed Win 10 I have not seen this message before, what is it telling me?

That you have passwords turned off or you didn't unlock your screen before shutting down... test by locking then unlocking your desktop... that normaly removes the blockage.

I have a login password that I use at the start of each session, and this does not require me to log in after the screensaver goes into action. Since I posted this it's not shown the message again, I don't understand that.
