This feature was for those who leave their PCs unattended and walk off from their desks. We recommend pressing the Win + L keys to lock your PC before going elsewhere. However, there are situations where you are working on multiple machines simultaneously, working on your personal computer alone, or working in a lab with restricted access. In these cases, automatic computer locking can be a curse rather than a boon. This guide will help you stop Windows from turning off automatically with different expert-recommended methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Different Ways To Stop Windows From Locking <span class=\"JCzEY tNxQIb\"><span class=\"CSkcDe\">after Inactivity<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 1: Change The Sign-In Options<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turning off Windows&#8217; sign-in feature can help prevent your PC from locking automatically when inactive. You should also turn off Dynamic Lock feature, that auto-locks your computer if a paired Bluetooth device, like your smartphone, moves out of range. Here are the steps::<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

To stop automatically locking, you can adjust the settings so that Windows does not enter sleep mode when inactive. Here is what you need to do to turn off the sleep mode on your PC:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-fix-windows-10-wont-sleep-issue\/\">Windows 10 PC Won\u2019t Sleep: Reasons &amp; Fixes [100% Working]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1.
