And, although there’s a security risk if you are working in a crowded environment, some users do not want tolock screenonWindowsServer. If you want to disablelock screenonWindowsServer, check the steps below.
How do I stop the server from locking when idle?
1. Disable the ‘Turn off the display’ feature in Power Options
Enable the Remote Desktop on Windows Server 2019 and get help from a tech-savvy friend with these steps.
2. Use Group Policy
After that, thelock screenonWindowsServeris disabled. If you, of course, want to do quite the opposite and enable it, follow back the steps and either change the screen-off timeout or enable the option in the Group Policy Editor.
