But if the driver for a particular hardware part (like a network adapter or graphic card) is corrupt, it might not respond tothese requests and may prevent the computer from entering sleep mode. To resolve this, I would suggest you to run Windows update to make sure that you have installed the latest drivers for all the devices. Refer to the section ‘To check for updates’ in thisarticle:Method 3: Run System File Checker toolSystem File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.Press Windows key + X and clickCommand Prompt (Admin)Type the following command and press Entersfc /scannowNote: Do not close this Command Prompt window until the verification is 100% complete. The scan results will be shown after this process is finished.Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

It's answers like yours that make people return their newly bought Windows 10 laptops to the shop and buy a Macbook instead.I just bought a Windows 10 laptop, and have the same problem of the lock screen coming up while I'm typing; so I go online to find a solution, only to find that this has been going on for more than a year, and no one at Microsoft seems to have a clue whatthe cause is or how to fix it.I suggest you stop adding new functionality to Windows and make sure that what is there actually works.
