I have my Mac mini connected to two monitors via USB-C cables. Regardless of the settings under Lock Screen, after I lock the computer, 30 seconds later the displays turn off and (I guess) the Mac goes to sleep. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Mac mini, macOS 14.0
Hello, I have had a similar issue with my Mac Air with M2 chip when connecting to a Samsung external monitor. It turns out that it was the USB-C adapter that I was using. The adapter was an Apple branded device with a USB-C, HDMI and USB port.
I had tried everything in this thread, a different HDMI cable, a different monitor and finally I noticed the adapter was warm to the touch and purchased a different branded adapter and the problem was solved. I was also on the phone with apple support for an hour and one of the suggestions was doing a factory reset to the machine, which I did not want to do.
Post snapshots please of how it is now.
Posted earlier in this thread. Please see above.
I think I will now stop abusing your time and use the opportunity to thank you for your kind assistance. 🙂

Exactly what do you mean by "lock the computer"?
I want to know exactly what the OP means by "locking the computer" and precisely how he is doing it.
