I'm reviving this by asking a new question because I had the same issue and it was driving me nuts. But I couldn't find anything useful on the forum and the previous question asking this has been locked.

I solved this by going to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Advanced (find this at the bottom right corner of the window)

Then uncheck the box saying “Log out after XX minutes of inactivity

That solves the problem :-)

This would be the first place to look, yes.

Are you saying this got turned on by default...

after upgrading the macOS, point update or brand new Machine w/ Monterey???
