When i move my cursor to the top left corner of the screen, I am automatically logged off. Is it a software problem or is it a feature I can turn off? [Catalina 10.15.3, 2019 27" iMac]

Hi, check your Hot Corners settings if you haven’t. You can find it at: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, switch to the Screen Saver tab then click “Hot Corners” located to the lower right. If the “Lock Screen” option is selected your screen will lock if the mouse is moved to that corner, requiring you to enter your password. Select the “-“ option to turn it off.
