How do I disable screen lock in Zorin 15?

After I wake my computer from suspend the screen is locked. I would like to disable this feature.

I have Settings -> Power -> Automatic Suspend set to On and both On Battery Power and Plugged In are set to 15 minutes.

I also have Settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock set to Off

Is there something else I am missing?

1. Dell Precision 7520
2. 8 GB
3. Dual-boot with Windows 10
4. 480 GB drive with 2 partitions (one has Zorin 15 the other has Windows 10)
5. NVIDIA Quadro M1200 w/ 4GB GDDR5
6. ?
7. Intel WiFi Link 8265 2x2 802.11ac
8. Did not run Zorin live
9. Zorin 15

Try this: Under Settings: Power/Power Saving/Blank Screen: Set to "never."

Hi, I'm going to draw AZorin's attention to this thread and ask him to share the answer - if there is one! ;)

Hello,
Please try entering this command into the Terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend false
