Annoying lock out of user account

[Windows Central Question]

When I boot up I sign in to access my user account -no problem with that.
However if I do not move the mouse within 10 minutes I am logged out and have to sign in again?
I regularly use my computer to display sheet music while I play my guitar...which takes both hands so the last thing I need to have happen is to be logged out and then have to log in again. I have extended all the settings I can find for screen shut down and sleep to 60 minutes....but it makes no difference. Still get logged out after 10 minutes.
Any advice on where/how I can change whatever setting it is that is doing this?

Hi ! Welcome to Windows Central. I play a Bass Fender. Old country! You might go into the advanced power setting and see if you can change any thing there.
That's the only thing I know! If you need more help, please join the forum and someone will help you!

PS You shouldn't have to log in. My PC never shuts down unless I manually shut it down!

Go to settings, system, power and sleep.
There you have it.

Thanks for joining friend!:wink: There are a lot more power options in advanced power settings! You can set the display to never! That may be what the OP is wanting to do!
