You can disable this feature at any time.
To disable the GNOME automatic screen lock, complete the following steps.
. On the desktop, navigate to the upper-right corner of the screen and click the arrow icon to expand the desktop options. Click the *Settings* icon.
. From the the *Settings* menu, select *Privacy*.
. On the *Privacy* page, select *Screen Lock*, and toggle the switch from *On* to *Off*.
. Close the window and verify that in the *Privacy* page, the *Screen Lock* is *Off*.
To enable the automatic screen lock, repeat this process and toggle the switch from *Off* to *On*.
