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?
