Make the change noted in what you responded to.

It is a screensaver setting. It's set to go to the Welcome Screen after the
screensaver activated. Doesn't matter that none of you have passwords, some
of you have passwords or all of you have passwords - it's the welcome
screen.

If it goes black - that is a power saving feature - check those settings.

In fact - follow the instructions. ;-)
