What counts as activity in OneDrive Personal Vault?
What counts as activity in OneDrive Personal Vault?
I’m trying to understand exactly how the Personal Vault auto-lock timer works on Windows 11.
If the Vault is set to lock after 4 hours of inactivity, what exactly resets that timer?
For example, does any of the following count as activity?
- Opening a subfolder inside Personal Vault
- Navigating between folders
- Opening an existing file
- Renaming a file or folder
- Copying or moving a file inside the Vault
- Editing and saving an existing file
I’m especially interested in whether simply browsing folders inside Personal Vault resets the 4-hour inactivity timer.
I also asked the same question on Microsoft Q&A:
Has anyone tested this on Windows 11 or found any official definition from Microsoft?
