MacBook goes back to log in screen after a few minutes

I recently bought a MacBook Pro. If I don't use the computer for just a few minutes, it goes back to the original sign in screen. I never had this happen with any of my Macs before.


Energy saver is set to 1/2 hour.


Thanks

Hello FFFF,


We understand that your MacBook Pro is locking unexpectedly. We'd recommend checking the auto-lock function which is outlined here: Set sleep and wake settings for your Mac
