      This GPO is not set for me.

      Then set it? What is the issue here? Make a new GPO, set this setting, and then apply it.

        Just to make you happy, I checked two clients. one where the policy is in place and one where it is not.

        The registry setting is not there in the one location and it is there in the other.

        Idle Timeout is a default behavior, so no key means it does default behavior which is to timeout after 60 or 120 seconds i believe in Windows 8. Never checked what the Windows 10 default is.

            The issue is - why is it randomly set for some (possibly) and not others. The default seems to be set to zero - i.e. disabled, but I have some who are claiming that it is set.

                In Windows 8 it was disabled by default. The settings in Power Management were respected, either that or the time out for idle timeout was much longer than the power settings were set to.

                      So I looked a users machine, these settings are all in the default value which is disabled.

                      So whatever is locking the computer is something else.

                      Now the power settings does have the monitor set to power off after 10 mins, but that SHOULD NOT make the user have to log back in when they wiggle the mouse.

                        A user called, said they watched their machine over lunch, after 20 mins (mind you the setting is 10) her screen went dark. When she pressed a key, we was presented with a logon prompt.

                        This utter lack of consistency of time is frustrating.

                          Require password after power save is a setting.

                            I'll be checking a vocal user's machine this afternoon.

                            Those are the worst.
