I have a Lenovo TB-8705F (Tab M8 FHD). The lock screen keeps automatically locking periodically by itself. I don't mind unlocking it when I turn it on, but I do not want it to keep self locking. How do I stop this?

hi

go to the settings , search either in security or in screen tab

there you will be able to adjust the lock screen timer

Thank you Nikos…

In Security > screen lock PIN >  Settings > Automatically lock >  

The choices are from “Immediately”, … 5 seconds… 15 seconds… 30 seconds… etc.,  to 30 minutes AFTER SLEEP. (It’s set to 30 minutes). There is no option to unselect a time, you can’t “un-set” it or turn it off you MUST choose one.

In  Security > Smart Lock >  

There are 3 choices of “UNLOCK” (On-body, Trusted Places, Trusted device connection), but no way to turn Smart Lock off. They all have a 4 hour limit until it locks again.

In Security > Display >  Sleep >  

You CAN choose “Never Sleep” (WHICH I HAVE NOW DONE). I’m hoping to extend the “Smart Lock” to 4 hours… (I still would like to just put in the PIN once for the day - - not every 4 hours)!!

I have checked these settings, they are at 15 minutes and 30 minutes.  It makes no difference. Whenever I look away at something else on my desk, and look back it is a lock screen, and it only takes a few seconds.  It is ridiculous.  I have to activate the screen and wait for either face recognition or if that fails, then the PIN.  Really, say 3 seconds, I look away and it locks.  I have never had this with any previous laptops.  

Hi @Jeannius ,
