Windows 10 auto-locking even when all settings are off

[dhruvky94]

Hi,

I had assembled my gaming desktop a year ago, but due to personal reasons, recently started using it. Here are my specs:

Intel core i5 7600k
MSI Z270 M3
16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
250 + 500 GB SSD drives
Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme
Windows 10 Genuine

I have updated all my drivers, Windows etc. I have turned off all power saving settings for Windows 10 like from Personalization, Screen Saver etc. I am running AIDA 64 to stress test my system to check stability. However, while running the tests, the system randomly auto-locks itself to lock screen. The test doesn't show error though, the system just auto-locks. I was facing the same issue when I was overclocked so I down-clocked and checked. Same issue.

I am not sure why this is happening. It just randomly happens. I am not sure what I am missing here. Is this happening due to stability issue?

its not a normal behavior, that is for sure.
