I have a new laptop and thought I'd use Windows Hello Face Recognition with it.
Bad move.
Windows Hello is checking to see if I'm in front of the computer and in perhaps a minute's time of not seeing me is locking the laptop (requiring me to do a new logon). This is nothing to do with the normal lock screen timeout (which is set to 10 minutes). It's Windows hello specifically not seeing me and deciding to lock up.
This is very frustrating (and ridiculous). I use an external monitor/keyboard/mouse and my laptop is to my right. I don't face it. So, if I get up to pick up a drink from the other room (takes about a minute) and come back or if I roll my chair over to get something out of a cabinet and take too long I then have to swivel around to get my face back in front of the laptop.
Seems this should have a setting of some sort so that it locks after a reasonable period of time of seeing nothing in front of the laptop. Poor design decision. Very Apple-esque.
