2 days ago i upgraded my windows 10 to build 1903 , since then ,
randomly and during any activity (gaming , watching a video ..etc) ,
screen with the word "locking" in the middle appears for half a second and my laptop goes into sleep mode
and then i have to turn it on again
this never happened before the update , i tried to reset and fresh start but, nothing worked , and now i can't get back to previous build
what do i do ?
HELP , PLEASE
SOLUTION
Hey guys
So, I solved the issue (for me, at least) a long time ago but forgot to report back. My apologies
Basically,
Settings -> power and sleep -> additional power settings -> change advanced power settings -> battery
Then, change critical battery action and low battery action to do nothing both on battery and plugged in
I don't know if others already solved the problem In a different way, but i Hope that helps
Have a good day

Have the exact same issue and so many other people do too. I just got a new lg 1440 display. My laptop is plugged into it with hdmi at the moment but will have a display port cable soon. Once I close my laptop down, it will lock after 2 minutes. I have no screen saver. Power options are all set to never and when close lid all set to do nothing. Some people have said they have been able to fix this by https://www.thewindowsclub.com/stop-computer-from-locking-windows-10-automatically/ . I did that and it didn't make a difference.
Definitely seems to be a Windows issue.
Yes, seems to be the only way, being that Microsoft has no interest in fixing the issue, or much care for their customers ...
I got the same issue this morning and it was solved by a very incredibly simple solution.
The problem: the battery was 0 but there was no notification about it, something went wrong in Win 10
Solution: plug in and charge the battery
Lesson learnt: maybe your battery or electricity goes wrong and it triggered the window to lock it to maintain (keeping everything in the previous status)
My laptop is always plugged in by the mains and has a fully charged battery, so it's not that.
