Windows 7 locking after 1 minute

OK, so starting off, i have read over all of the other posts and have found none of them work.
My computer locks after 1 minute, this started today, i have not changed any settings, nor have I recently as I have had this computer for a while. I have looked at all of the settings and i have all of the sleep/hibernation functions turned off.
I have the "lock screen on wake up" function also turned off. I do however have it set to dim, and then turn off the display after 1 minute, but this has nothing to do with the sleep function. It does not dim the display before locking, only after,
as if it wasnt locked, please give me anything you can to help as this randomness is very irritating.

I don't think Arthur Xie's response should be marked as the answer. This doesn't sound like it has any relevance to Craig's original question, and hasn't been corroborated by anyone. It threw me off the scent when I encountered the exact same
problem - Windows 7 locking me out after 1 minute and requiring password re-entry
It turns out that Ramesh's answer was the one that worked for me. Somehow my machine got set to wait 1 minute and "on resume, display logon screen" was ticked. Don't know how this happened.
I initially missed this, because the selected screensaver was "(none)", so I assumed all the settings on this page were irrelevant. It does raise the interesting usability point that a screen saver of "(none)" can still blank the screen, even
though the user hasn't purposely selected the "Blank" screensaver.

Windows 7 desktop locks after 10 minutes idle - Policy setting?

Is there a policy setting to lock the desktop after a certain amount of idle time? I can't seem to find one, and searches on the web only seem to uncover lock up issues with software, rather than security policy settings.
Right now our Win 7 desktops lock after 10 minutes of inactivity (set by old IT staffer who is no longer here). This is way too short and we need to change it. However, I can't find where the setting is. The screensaver is disabled and the power settings are set to maximum. The only policy setting that looks like it could be what I'm looking for is "Microsoft network server: Amount of idle time required before suspending session", but that wasn't set to 10. I went and set it to 0 anyway and the desktop still locks after 10 mins.
Can someone point me in the right direction for this setting?
Thanks!

When you leave your computer, it’s best to start a screensaver that can only be turned off with a password.
On the Start menu, click Control
Panel.
Click Personalization, and then click Screen
Saver.
In the Wait box, choose 15 minutes
(or less)
Click On resume, display logon screen, and then click OK.
just try reverse , it may work !!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My laptop locked after I don't use it for several minutes.

Hi everyone,
I have a really troublesome problem.
My laptop is locked after I don't use it for several minutes.
When I say locked, I mean it turns to where shows my account name and below it says locked.
At first, I think it is cause by the Auto-lock .cuz I am really annoyed by it, I uninstalled it.
However it still does not work.
Could anyone tell me what the problem is on earth?
Perhaps it is just because I am really not familiar with my new laptop.
Solved!

That's a power setting that determines how long before it enters the screen saver, sleep more, or even hibernation mode. You can change either the requirement of a password (somewhere in the screen saver section of Windows) or the duration before it enters those modes (you should be able to set that with the Lenovo Power Center thing). Of course, doing either is a security risk, but that's up to you as to how much security or comfort you want.

Why doesn't my phone auto-lock after one minute?

From the settings - it's checked to auto-lock after a minute, but for some reason - this does not always happen. I have tried turning off the phone and back on again - that did not work. How can this be resolved?

probably. turn it off for sometime , restart the phone and check.

Time Machine Lock in Preferences window doesn't remain locked after a system reboot

I am not sure if this problem occurred in Lion or not, but in Mountain Lion, I'm noticing the lock in the lower left corner of the Time Machine preferences page doesn't remain locked after a reboot of the computer. Has anyone else noticed this issue? Is there a fix or is it a glitch that Apple will need to correct?

From the menu bar, select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ General ▹ Advanced... ▹ Require an administrator password to access locked preferences: On.

Hashtable locks after cgiscope.resolve in cfapplication tag

Hi,
Running (IIS 6, Windows 2003, coldfusion 7.02)
I have been trying to tune our servers already for a while
and fixed quite a few bottlenecks. At the moment i trying to solve
a problem which delays (Running requests shoot up till maximum,
requests start queing upto 60 or above) our servers for periods of
1 to 5 seconds, and this can appear regularly (every 3-5 seconds)
and sometimes the server will not experience the problem for a
while (a minute, sometimes even longer). We have upto about 55
page/hits per seconds on our sites.
See the attached code for some stack traces.
Although the lock in application line 1 (cfapplication tag)
occupies 80% of the thread dump, we get also the same kind of lock
where cfparams, isdefined and unscoped variables are in the code,
these look sometimes a bit different, but its always a HashTable
object (like NoCaseContainer). And its also always happens in the
execution of coldfusion.runtime.cgiscope.resolve.
One more thing, the thread dump is full of threads 'waiting
for lock', but i can never find a thread that says 'locked' on that
hashtable object. So there does not seem to be any thread locking!
I have scoped cfparams and isdefined's that appeared the most
in the thread dumps, and it helped, they dont appear in the threads
dumps anymore. But now it seems that only the <cfapplication>
tag appears (which is on line 1), and this causes just as much
locks, it doesn't seem to make the locking any less than before.
So my question is, should i scope every single variable in my
application (this is going to be a lot of work), should i remove
all CGI variables from the application.cfm page (i did this, and it
does not seem to have any affect).
And, why does <cfapplication> access the CGI scope? Is
this normal behaviour? And if yes, is it normal it causes so much
locking (note: we have here and their some bad application scope
locks hanging around but i did not fix them because these pages
never appear in stacktraces).
Also i included a few stacktraces that acces the file system,
i have the idea these appear after a page gets through the lock
after the execution of coldfusion.runtime.cgiscope.resolve and just
because accessing the file system is a slow process it appears also
in the stack traces. But let me know if you think im wrong about
this.
I hope somebody can help me fixing this.

The jsp code should look like the following in order to keep your value selected:
<td width="200" id="SelectedType" class="select">
<f:invoke var="${tester}" methodName="populateType" retAttName="types" retAttScope="Page"/>
<select id="tester.type" class="select" <f:fieldName att="tester.type"/>>
<c:forEach var="type" begin="0" items="${types}"
varStatus="status">
*<option value="<c:out value="${type}"/>"<c:if test="${type == tester.type}">selected="selected"</c:if>>*
<c:out value="${type}"/>
</option>
</c:forEach>
</select>

Is it possible to charge Ipod5G in Windows 2000 after ejecting from Itunes?

Is it possible to charge Ipod5G in Windows 2000 after ejecting from Itunes? but keeping it connected? I'm using a fairly powerful and new computer at work...loaded with Win2K (2000), and for some reason it doesnt want to charge once I've ejected it from Itunes.
My home computer with Windows XP works fine with this, I can eject, but keep it connected so it charges while i watch videos, or listen to music.
Can anyone help?
also...the computer at work does have USB 2, and can charge properly...but only if the ipods screen says "DO NOT DISCONNECT"
Thanks folks!

I have the same problem and the cause is with Windows 2000. My pc has USB 2.0 and no hardware problems either with the computer, ipod or cables. Basically Windows seems to be shutting down the power for the USB port as soon as Itunes completes its update every time. So the ipod gets a charge for a minute or two and that's it.
I have just been using another pc for the charge which is annoying - haven't found a solution yet although fiddling with the settings so that itunes is only started up manually may be a good workaround.
Other people have had the same problem in Win 2k with other models -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Window disappears after second selection

Hi,
I have an OO alv grid that calls a second window. On double-clicking on a value, the value drops into the first window - this works fine. My problem is that the window only closes on a second double-click (even though I can see that my value has dropped into the first window).
After the first selection it comes back into the PBO again, though I have no idea why.
Is there something I'm not setting to stop thsi happening ?
thanks.

Well, if you can copy and rename the executable and get it working, then it's a pretty clear indication that the origianl is under some kind of lock/ security supervision from some tool or the system itself. Have you checked the options for user permissions and execution prevention? Have you looked into the logs and blacklists of your firewall and virus scanner?

How I can set my Iphone 6 to make it lock after 4 hours

On my Iphone 5c under IOS 8 I can set the auto Lock after 4 hours. I do not find this option on my Iphone 6 (only lock immediately). Whenever it go to sleep mode (after one minute according to my setting), I have to redo the code or use the fingerprint of the home button. Any idea about this?

Thank you for this information. By following your method I realized that this setting is available only if the unlocking with fingerprinting function is disabled. Is this is a bug or a feature on Iphone with the fingerprint home button?

Is Apple boot camp on Mac OS 10.7 lion ready to support Windows 8 after it is set to release in 2012?

Hello!
Is Apple boot camp on Mac OS 10.7 lion ready to support Windows 8 after it is set to release in 2012?
Thanks!

I think you'll have to wait until one or both of those OS's are actually released to be able to know the answer to this question. Apple put out special Boot Camp updates for Windows7 when it came out. Past performance shows that Apple is on the ball, but nothing is locked in stone at this time.
The only people who could really know the answer to what the beta's are planning are the same people who have signed Non Disclosure Agreements and couldn't say anything here anyway. The rest of us volunteers are not allowed to speculate too much about Apple's plans or design decisions that they have not announced.

Screen lock after resume

I would like to enable a screen lock after resuming from suspend. i am using the latest xorg thats in the repos, openbox, and slim.

Add xtrlock & to the end of the suspend script.
P.S. On very rare occasions xtrlock fails to grab input focus, e.g. when the Opera address bar has input focus, most window manager hotkeys don't seem to work.
that application worked like i assume its supposed to. if that displayed a blank screen instead of showing the desktop then i would be a lot happier with it.
Haha, yeah, we just gotta find some app that takes full screen and run it before xtrlock.
there is xlockmore in community. that seems to do the job. it displays a screensaver when resuming though. if there was a way to configure it to just be blank that would be cool.
Edit: or just a picture of a login promt so the person wouldnt just shut down the machine thinking something is wrong with it.
