l mentioned the solution in the second post and several later posts about how power management changed with XFCE 4.20. Check your xscreensaver settings.

Thank you. I was about to add (to my original question) that I don’t even have xfce4-screensaver installed.

I will try installing and tweaking and report back what I find.

ADDED LATER

@philm It didn’t work. I installed package, went to Screensaver Preferences, found two tabs (Screensaver and Lock Screen), and turned off the whole tab for both. Still I get screen lock.

I guess my case is the same as:

@DK3

I use XFCE.
I have installed xfce4-screensaver. Turned off Screensaver and Lock-Screen, but the Problem persists on all Systems.

I followed some other links and saw references to a “presentation mode” as part of power management. However, my Settings > Hardware > Power Manager has no such option.
