[QUOTE="sdynak, post: 1876837, member: 407188"] The interesting thing is I have the "show recent applications in Dock" disabled but there was a separate finder like window that was opened with them in it. It was not in the dock displaying them. Yes.. one way around this not happening is leaving the lid open. When I do this nothing happens and the screen will eventually time out. I have it set for 5 min. I never seem to have any issue this way and only after actually closing the lid. I have not actually tried to see if clicking on "sleep" will make a change before closing but I can try that. I have some confidence that if I just leave the lid open it will not happen. I do not have a PW required for after wake but I do not have automate login on. I think this is what you mean (see below screen shot). I'm pretty sure it is not my neighbors.. it will happen when I'm the only one around during the day (work from home) and my neighbors rely on me for tech support as they are not savvy in the least bit. For how long this has been going on and how quick it can happen like as soon as I close the lid I come back and something changes... I'm thinking it is unlikely someone is standing by waiting to get it. [ATTACH type="full"]33484[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
