A friends PC locks after about 10mins , and I could not find the setting to stop this activity
NO screen saver is on
The power plan for the PC when on mains , which it was, is all set to NEVER.
She just leaves the PC on , walks away and then when she returns , she get a black screen with "switch user" to log back in
No passwords used, No domain setup - just a domestic windows 7 PC, which when started goes directly to the desktop screen.
where is the setting to stop this happening
I checked against another PC for power options, password on wakeup, but her PC is not set to sleep on any setting, I can see - so that should not be an issue - also as she does not have a password,was not sure it would help
I'm sure its just a simple setting somewhere , i cant find ....
Shes a little concerned because just recently this happened and the PC completely locked , she took to a repair shop, who unlocked, and also said this lockout may have been caused by AVG 2012
so we removed AVG 2012 and put avast on
thanks
