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

    Keep me posted.

    If I might suggest to follow the illustrated Clean Install which should get you past all difficulties as it has millions of others who have followed the steps in this link and never come back to report another problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

    Make sure during the booted install to follow the illustrated steps to delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, then click Next to let it auto-create the needed partitions, format them and begin install - this makes it foolproof.

    You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the linked tutorial. It's a better install than any amount of money could buy and a great learning experience that will make you the master of your PC because you will learn everything that works best and how to apply it with your own hands.

    Strange behavior, my friend. I have Windows 10 Version 1903 Build 18362.207 and mine doesn't do that.

    There are two ways to lock mine. One is to tell Cortana to do it when she displays this message before locking:

    and then my lock screen shows up and the slide show starts.

    The other is to press the Winkey+L and the Lock Screen appears and the slide show starts with NO message about locking.

    The Ennis-Brown House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright appears where Deckard lived in the original Blade Runner and that Vincent Price rented in THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and where Angel lived on BTVS etc etc fills my screen and I say Wow! Look at the time!

    But I don't understand what YOUR device is doing. 

    But put the iso on a flash drive and install the earlier Windows as you normally would.
