Screen Locks Automatically

[IanGard]

My laptop screen automatically locks within a few minutes when not in use even if there is a process running, eg file upload/download etc which then gets interrupted. I have set all settings as 'never' for both 'on battery power' and 'while plugged in'. I don't want my screen to lock automatically. How do I do that?  There is a reply to add a key to the registry on the forum but that doesn't seem to work. (See below).

A sticker on the whole camera section (but leaving the camera visible) works (lol), so it's a "presence" sensor in the top camera part of the screen that must triggers it.

The method from the forum (That didn't work for me)

1) Right-click the Start or the Windows icon and then click on Search.

2) Type regedit and hit Enter on your keyboard.

3) Double-click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

4) Double-click on SOFTWARE.

5) Double-click on Policies.

6) Double-click on Microsoft.

7) Right-click on Windows.

😎 Click on New.

9) Click on Key.

10) Type Personalization and hit Enter. Right-click on the Personalization key you just created.

11) Click on New.

12) Click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.

13) Type NoLockScreen and hit Enter on your keyboard. Double-click the NoLockScreen DWORD you just created.

14) Type 1 in the Value data field and hit enter.

Which I've done to create this key.
