Locking your computer is a useful safety feature because it prevents unauthorized users from accessing your files and your network. There are two main ways to lock your computer:

 Open the Start menu, click your user icon on the left side of the menu, and then click Lock.

 Press Windows+L.

Rather than remembering to lock your computer, you can configure Windows to automatically lock the computer after it has been idle for a specified amount of time. Here are the steps to follow:

1 Open the Settings app.

2 Click Personalization. The Personalization settings appear.

3 Click Lock Screen. The Lock Screen settings appear.

4 Click the Screen Timeout Settings link. The Power & Sleep settings appear.

5 Use the Sleep list to choose the number of minutes of idle time after which Windows puts your PC to sleep (and, therefore, locks the PC). If you have a tablet or notebook PC, be sure to set the sleep timeout both for when your PC is plugged in and when it is on battery power.

If you find yourself looking at the Lock screen frequently, you can improve the experience by customizing the Lock screen in two ways: by changing the background and by adding apps. The next two sections provide the details.
