The screen saver is displayed for a time and then, when it is the set time for the computer to go to sleep (set in the Power Options), the screen goes black. This is normal. However, when I jiggle the mouse to wake up the computer, Windows does not go directly to the desktop; it goes to a blue screen with a box containing my user name and the word "locked". There is another icon I can click that says "switch user". If I click that, another screen appears with my name under an icon (my avatar). I click on that and I'm back into my session.
How can I change back to the behavior where jiggling the mouse takes me back to my desktop?
Answer:
Click Start and then Control Panel and then Personalization to get:
Click "Screen Saver". In this case, I don't have one, but you might. It doesn't matter, just click the link.
The resulting window looks like this:
See the check box labeled "On resume, display the logon screen"? That should NOT be checked if you want to go directly back to your session. Click OK.
That's it.
