There are scenarios where if an application is running it can prevent the screen saver etc from cutting in. &nbsp;An example I have is a legal practice management system. &nbsp;The server DB component is not &quot;windows compatible&quot; and hence prevents things like screen lock/screen saver from starting.<br />

Have a look at the processes that are running, stop any you know are safe to and see what happens

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I've got an issue with a server that is running Windows Server 2012 (Not R2) where it doesn't go to the lock screen after a specified amount of time.<br />
<br />
I have tried editing group policies, power saver options (both normal and advanced) and changing a registry directory to bring up an additional option in power saver advanced options, none of which work.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any ideas?<br />
<br />
Much appreciated.

Windows Server 2012 - Lock screen won't happen automatically after set time.

Windows OS

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0.

Golang, also called Go, is an open source programming language that is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library. Go is a general-purpose systems programming language that aims to be efficient both for development and execution with a focus on fast compilation and increased maintainability of large projects. Go was originally targeted at systems programming tasks such as building server/web applications, high throughput middleware and databases.
