For Windows 7 computers, the old-school trick by using the screensaver still works flawlessly. Unfortunately, the policy or the registry key is new only in Windows 10. I cant find this setting, I can only find a. Open Registry Editor, go to the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\SystemĪnd add a new DWORD (32-bit) Value called InactivityTimeoutSecs, then set the number of seconds of inactivity as its value. I run a network of computers and I would like enforce a GPO which locks the screen after a predefined idle time. For other edition, you can use the registry trick instead.
Obviously, this only works on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise edition. Open Group Policy Editor, head over to the following location: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Optionsĭouble-click the policy called Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit on the right, and put in the number of seconds of inactivity before locking the machine down. For those not capable of using Dynamic Lock, setting it up automatically Lock your Windows 10 computer through Group Policy is a good way to go. But not all devices are equipped for a paired device that you can carry all the time. Windows 10 has a new feature called Dynamic Lock that automatically locks your device while you are away.
