Also, if the computer is a laptop, you may need to update the Power Manager application.

Some updates update the power manager driver so what was observed above can indeed happen. So please look through the settings in my first post.

Here is a recent update to my ThinkPad by Windows Update. You can see the power manager was updated. So it is worth checking this on your computer.

If not due to the computer going to sleep, commonly, locking is set by the Screen Saver checkbox "On resume, display lock screen"

how to do this.
