As a security measure, Windows 10 incorporates the possibility of locking your computer, turning off the screen in order to prevent access to the operating system and thus to all the personal information stored there. However, although this security function is highly recommended, the truth is that it can sometimes be somewhat annoying since if the lock is done too frequently, we will have to constantly unlock our computer.

In general, the locking of your Windows 10 computer is done after a reasonable time to prevent the user from having to constantly unlock it after a few minutes. The problem is that some Windows configurations lock the computer very frequently, forcing users to move at least the mouse or touchpad so that inactivity causes the screen of your computer to lock.
Windows 10 locks your computer screen when you don’t interact with the computer. In other words, if we do not want our computer to crash, we should maintain its activity. In general, the idle time until your computer crashes can be configured, however, even if you have it configured correctly, your computer may still continue to crash.
That being said, if your computer locks automatically too often and you want to disable your computer’s screen lock, we recommend that you follow the steps below:
How to prevent your computer from automatically locking Windows 10
– Use the keyboard shortcut: Windows key + R
– When the Run tool opens, enter the following command and press Enter:
– This will open the Local Group Policy Editor in which we will have to go to: Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates> Control Panel> Personalization
– Once we are in this screen you must search and double click on the option: Don’t show lock screen
– When the small configuration window is shown you will have to check the option Enabled.
– Finally, click To accept to save the configuration and check how now your computer will not lock the screen when it detects no activity.
If you have the Windows 10 Home version you will have to carry out the following steps:
– Open the Windows registry editor.
– Here go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsPersonalization
– If you don’t see the Personalization key in the menu on the left, you will have to create it and name it as: Personalization
– Now, in the right part of the screen you must click with the right mouse button and create a new value DWORD (32-bit) and name it as: NoLockScreen
– Then double click NoLockScreen to change the value data from 0 to 1.
– Finally, you just have to click on To accept to save the changes. From this moment on the lock screen will be disabled.

On the right side of the screen you should focus on the Suspend section. Here you will find two configuration options: when the computer is using battery or when it is plugged in. This will be where we must use the drop-down menu to increase the time or even deactivate it by selecting the option: Never.
