1299867 2012-09-09 21:35:00 I'm currently working on a laptop running Windows 7 and every time I let the computer idle for about a minute, the screen turns black and it brings me back to the startup login screen. It's pretty frustrating as you can imagine and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a solution for this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks alsoslick (10137)
1299868 2012-09-09 21:45:00 It's a screensaver setting - to return to the Welcome screen after exiting screensaver mode. Paul.Cov (425)
1299869 2012-09-09 21:54:00 Yes, lengthen the screensaver time and while in Power Options, on the left, click "Require a password on startup". Change the default to not require. (There will be another click needed to get to that option). linw (53)
