Yeah, it's definitely a weird one.
I don't remember ever experiencing it with other machines but the reality is that since 2015 I've only actually used Windows 10 with three other computers:
1. A Dell desktop machine with no touchscreen or camera back in 2016,
2. My Macbook Pro, in 2016/17, where I used Windows 10 as a Parallels VM,
3. An Intel powered Surface laptop that I used at work from 2017 - 2019.
I don't remember any issues with the desktop machine. With the Mac I used the OSX screen lock so it was a complete non-issue (of course Windows would still lock itself but I wasn't careful about locking it manually).
The Surface was so wrought with glitches and problems that the lock screen not working properly would have been the absolute least of them. It was one of the worst and least reliable computers I've ever had to tolerate, bested in this regard only by my ZX Spectrum 48K+ back in 1986/87, and the Spectrum +2A that followed it in 1988/89. An awful, overpriced, underspecced paperweight of a computer. Avoid.
