Prevent log off windows 7

Harshit Mehta. When my laptop is left idle for not more than 2 minutes, then it automatically gets logged off. I tried to change all the settings in the advanced power settings. But still I am facing the problem.

It becomes tiresome to log in every time, whenever it gets logged off Also, in Personalization, when i try to set the Theme to Aero Theme - Windows 7, it gets changed back to Unsaved Theme. I have scanned my entire system with multiple anti-viruses and found nothing. Does anyone have a solution for this??

Regards, Harshit Mehta. Step 1: Right click on the desktop, and select Personalize option. Step 2: From the left side panel click on Lock Screen and select Screen saver settings. Step 3: From the drop down bar under screen saver select an option. Step 4: Check the box On resume, display logon screen, change the number to 5 in the Wait box. You will be logged out , and your files will not be saved. You are just putting the display to sleep.

When you lock the computer, you will be taken to the lock screen by default to dismiss unlock and sign in when ready to continue where you left off. Home » Linux. Probably SetThreadExecutionState.

PS: There are also programs which auto-move your mouse cursor a little while you're afk.
