Did you check to see if the BIOS has settings for that? I vaguely remember a BIOS on one of my machines that had an option like that.

Yes, there was one possible BIOS setting and turning it off didn't help.
Thanks

Check the BIOS for power settings.

Microsoft Powertoys[^] have a mini tool that handles this.
My thinkpad doesn't suffer from this though.
Maybe they will solve this in an upcoming update.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. Although must say, I feel that the idea of installing a [Microelephant] utility to circumvent flawed [Microelephant] system settings is pretty disgusting.

Yep, I feel that way after installing Open Shell on fresh installs of Windows.

I don't know if this will apply to you, but on my older Dell XPS, there were options in the BIOS which were very similar to some power settings - and took preference. I'd go spelunking through that - especially if a colleague's issue went away after an update.

It's either an OEM driver thing, shipped as part of the OS installation, or a boot setting thing.
If you can't find it in the boot menu, you can still switch to a DELL OEM image instead.
Avoids Lenovo specific annoyances and still picks up the embedded OEM key.
I figured that out when my dad bought a decently specced Lenovo for just $200.. and the thing either crashed during startup or couldn't use Wifi at all, because the Wifi OEM driver was faulty (and also impossible to remove, update or replace). Switched to the DELL OEM image and everything worked fine.

Thanks but my
Lenovo Commercial Vantage -> Device
has no such settings, in fact no settings at all.

Have you tried one of those USB dongles that simulates a mouse being jiggled every 15 seconds or so? Place I worked used them to save repeated 5-minute logons while the remote system got it's arse in gear.

Is it a corp-controlled laptop image, or a device you own?
Laptop OEMs always seem to author so much garbage "value-add" configuration software, that interferes or conflicts with basic OS functionality. Who knows what it could be doing. The first thing I do with any new laptop is reformat and reinstall OS, and drivers. If I can.

Must be a feature installed by default by Lenovo. Dell has the exact same thing that you can only control through their "Dell Optimizer" application. They call it "Walk Away Lock" under "Presence Detection". It would automatically lock my computer if I wasn't directly in front of it for more than 60 seconds.
A quick search led me to this:
Quote: The human presence sensor is enabled by default. To disable the function:
Open the Vantage app, and then click Device ➙ Smart Assist to turn on or turn off the User Presence Sensing switch. Customize the Zero Touch Login and Zero Touch Lock settings according to your preference.
Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to enter the UEFI BIOS menu. Select Security ➙ Intelligent Security to customize detailed settings..

I find cppcheck as plugin for Codeblocks IDE to very useful. Especially for memory leaks. Any opinions on its general use?

Cppcheck is awesome. We have it in our CI (continuous integration), so it runs automagically on check-in.
Not only that... but I happen to work with the guy who originally wrote it! (They are a team now)

Cool. I have saved lots of time debugging code when I use it.

We used it for a while.
I don't remember the reason why we stop using it.
