Windows 8.1 Goes to Sleep in less than 1 Minute and Always requires Password Upon Wake (After Changing all settings)
I have a problem with a Windows 8.1 Machine 64 bit OS. The computer goes to sleep after 1 minute, and goes to a lock screen which requires a password upon Wake. I have changed ALL the settings NOT to allow this, and it still happens. I have made the PC
Settings optios as well as the Power Options. I recently attached a new monitor to the PC so I have dual monitors now. But no software has been downloaded and as far as I can tell, no settings have been changed. All this started when I put the new monitor
in. I tried to disconnect it thinking it would disable the lock screen, but it still happens. Please Help!

How have you set the screen saver? It would seem from your description that the screen saver is causing this even if you have none set.
Right click on the desktop and select Personalize.
In the lower right select screensaver.
The make sure the box is unchecked that says On resume, display logon screen.

Wow, Thank you so much for your help! This fixed my issue! I remember selecting the Screen Saver Option within the Personalize Menu, but don't remember
that option being defaulted. Thanks again for your awesome support!
