Windows 10 walk away settings
I have a windows 10 20H2 home HP laptop.
I switched from a win 10 pro 20H2 Toshiba laptop that was upgraded from older versions of 10.
I had it on Toshiba that it would sleep in an hour and lock afterwards. No other prompts for passwords.
On the new HP, if I'm away more than a few minutes, it locks despite the power settings. If I turn dynamic lock to never, then it doesn't lock when sleeping/hibernating.
Is this a HP issue or windows 10 issue? Some sort of proximity sensor in HP that I don't have controls to, windows 10 home/pro option availability, or something lost from older windows 10 versions not present in a fresh install of 20H2?

One of the worst things about Win10 is settings being in 2000 different unconnected, hard to find submenus.

But I guess that's the opposite problem of the sleep cycle working too good
The problem is after a minute or 2 of it being closed, it considers "I'm away" from it and locks it on its own. This is what I want to stop. If I set it to "never", it stops this but doesn't lock it when it goes to sleep or I put it to sleep/hibernate manually.

I do not want it to lock after 2 seconds after I close the lid.
In power settings, there is an option to "do nothing" when closing the lid so closing the lid doesn't put it to sleep..
