What exactly happens when you try to lock the Mac?


Apple menu > Lock Screen or Control-Command-Q should normally take you straight to the Lock Screen.


If nothing happens, restart the Mac and try both methods again. If the Mac does lock but doesn’t ask for your password when you return, that’s a different setting.


Let us know which of those you’re seeing, and we can narrow it down.
