How do I turn of the "Locked" mode that my laptop goes into after a
sleep? My desktop PC doesn't do it, and I can't find the setting.

Control Panel
Hardware and Sound
Power Options
Require Password on Wakeup

Don't do this if you (a) carry any sensitive information on your system, and
(b) carry your system with you, and (c) there is any chance whatsoever of it
being stolen.

Thanks, that did the trick. I wasn't looking for that as it wasn't
asking for a password, just saying Locked.

Yes, the terminology takes some time to get used to. Glad to hear you got it
resolved.
