Update: I mistakenly wrote Win RT instead of Embedded, corrected it.
Update: Added a bullet list to make it easier to see how the computers are configured.

I manage 13 computers running Win 8 embedded. A user is always logged on. The problem is that sometimes when a person wants to use the computer it is locked and he/she needs to type the password to login. The locking sometimes happen after about an hour, sometimes after a few days or even weeks. How is that possible with this configuration?

Configuration:

  • Never sleep or hibernate
  • Never turn off the monitor
  • No screen saver
  • Disabled the lock screen
  • Updates are installed outside office hours
  • When rebooted, user is logged in automatically
  • Users don't have access to start menu (only touch screen and a full screen app)
  • Users are not using the Win+l command
  • The computers are in an AD, but no GPO:s regarding locking exists (and the locking occurs different times on different computers)

None of the computers has auto-locked for a month now after my last changes. The changes I did was:

  • Disabled the scheduled task for SkyDrive (had generated an error in the event log)
  • Opt out of the "Customer Experience Improvement Program" and also disabled all related scheduled tasks
  • Switched the power profile from modified "Balanced" to "High performance" with the same modifications
  • Turned off auto-update and auto-update-check of TeamViewer
  • Turned off auto-update of Adobe AIR (seems like it has to be done for every user)
