Screenlock and Automatic Sign-out/Log-out

Screen lock and automatic sign-out/log-out have been working on terminals of Zengaku Computer System.

PCs are automatically locked after a period of inactivity. If they remain unlocked for 60 minutes, automatic sign-out/log-out occurs. Any unsaved data may be lost.

The descriptions of the features are as follows:

Windows Environment

  • The screen saver runs if a period of inactivity (idle time) exceeds 15 minutes after sign in.
  • You can terminate the screen saver and go back to the original screen by pressing any key within several seconds after the screen saver has run.
  • The screen lock activates several seconds after the screen saver has started. To go back to the original screen, input your password.
  • You can activate the screen lock by your own operation.
    Press Windows + L key or select “Lock” from the start menu as shown below.

  • The monitor goes into a sleep state if idle time reaches one minute on the password input screen with the background screen alone displayed.
  • The monitor also goes into a sleep state if idle time reaches five minutes after the screen saver has started.
  • After the screen lock has activated, automatic sign-out takes place if idle time goes over 60 minutes. Any unsaved data may be lost in this case.
