Windows 10 Logs out automatically ( all sleep/logout settings off)
Hi There,
As the title implies, windows 10 automatically logs out. and I cant figure out why.
This started happening in the last 2 weeks after a windows update.
-I dont know exactly How long before it logs out but i assume more than 20-30 minutes of inactivity.
-It's not THAT annoying because it only happens overnight , normally. BUt i'd still like to know why its logging out.
I'm trying to find the one setting that's making this happen. I cant find it.
-I've looked at all sleep and power settings. Everything is is set to NEVER in windows 10 settings.
-in power options turn off display / put computer to sleep is set to never.
-in advance power settings all sleep settings are set to NEVER ie: sleep , hybrid sleep, hibernate etc.. all set to Never.
- I know about the System unattended sleep timeout. I did the whole regedit thing to show that setting in power settings. It was Set to 2 minute. I've change it to something ALOT longer like 100000000 minutes But it still logs out.
-screensaver is turned off. and all checkboxes in screensave are off..
-It's not a reboot or a BSOD because all apps and everything are exactly the same when I log back in
-system restore / reinstall is out of the question right now. I dont think my computer is setup to do system restores anyways. and a reinstall is out of the question because i dont have time to figure out / download windows ( i've lost my windows disk/ usb drive , cant afford the time to reinstall all my work apps etc.. etc... )
Not a super emergency but its driving me nuts that i cant figure out how to just completely Turn off windows 10 from logging out automatically.
Thanks for any help
