Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

I sign in using my password.... it goes to my desktop as normal. But, when my laptop either goes into sleep or times out, it reverts to the start-up/sign in window at the beginning..... every time. I do not want it to time out or go into a sleep mode and have to re-sign everytime.

Also, is there a built in screen saver in Windows 10 that does not time out your computer?

I had already done that. It currently says "Never".... still doing it.

Any other options?

Also.... in Settings....Power & Sleep.....
my settings..

Screen
• On battery power, turn off after...NEVER
• When plugged in.....NEVER
Sleep
• Battery Power.....NEVER
• Plugged in PC.... NEVER

The only other place I can think of is under Lockscreen settings, scroll down to the screensaver link & under screensaver there’s a tick box for activating Lockscreen when coming out of the screensaver (can’t recall the exact wording).
 
Bastet.... thanks for guiding me to this.... I believe it helped!

I turned ON the Windows Screen saver and unchecked "go to sign up screen" and it seems to be working.

I appreciate your help here!
