I have the problem that my Windows 10 automatically logs me out. Also while I'm using it (-for example while I'm editing a file). How can I change that behaviour? Normaly it should not logging me out while the PC is in use?!

Somebody have a clue how I can fix this?

When you open ‘gpedit.msc’ from a Run-window or command prompt you can walk through the tree to ‘Computer Configuration’ -> ‘Windows Settings’ -> ‘Security Settings’ -> ‘Local Policies’ -> ‘Audit Policy’
There check the boxes for Success and Failure for ‘Audit logon events’ and ‘Audit account logon events’.

There’s a good chance you’ll see relevant events appear in the security event log from the time you were automatically logged out about why you got logged off.

For more information on individual events and what they mean you can copy paste the event ID, source and/or eventdata in your favourite search engine or ask here (be sure to remove personally identifiable information you don't want to share)

  • You're correct. Taking the pointers from the link DavidPostill provided I've reworded my response. If you feel this is still inadequate for an answer I'll completely remove it.

I had the same issue. Now I found out why this is happening and how to solve it.

Most probably you have switched on "Dynamic lock". This detects if you are using the computer or not and locks it if you seem to be away.

You can find this at: Settings (Windws+i) -> Accounts -> Sign-in options -> Dynamic lock

Now that I know it, I take the logouts more with an ease and I'm not so worried about them anymore. Hope you find that useful.
