It doesn't work. It times out at various times even when I have just used it. There seems to be no reason to how ti works. And then I have to wait for Microsoft to send me another email to get back in. This is nonsense - if I am sitting at my computer using the files - I want them to stay there until I decide to close it. I do not need some silly **** nanny closing files automatically. Fix this problem. I have already signed onto my personal vault 4 times in the last hour 0 and I have never closed a window. It doesn't work. Fix it, and give me options.

Try going to the cloud icon on the taskbar > Settings> Account tab > Personal Vault Inactivity Lock.
