Settings -> Privacy -> Screenlock ?

What does that setting reveal?

And, is it only after suspend? What about after a non-suspend lock?

gsettings can reveal much:

gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.screensaver

Good luck

Everything is good there.

Dconf Editor:

The non-suspend lock option is not there in the gnome menu, as you can see in my original post.
And it doesn’t get locked when the screen goes blank after some time.

'Super+L ' have any effect?

Try a new/test user to eliminate any ~/.settings*. [ ~/.dot-stuff ]

Also, disable all extensions and give it a shot.

Nope, no effect

I created a new user, and screen locking worked there!
Disabling extensions doesn't have any effect on my user account.

~/.dot-stuff

Did you do the

gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.screensaver prompt?

Of course it may be another key affecting this as well.

Check each one with gsettings or dconf editor and narrow it down.

I think it is gsettings KEY. ddg will know how to list the toggle on each key.

There is a way to reset all gsetting keys but that is rather nuclear.

I'd suggest locating the offending key(s) individually.

I reset every setting in the screensaver section in the dconf editor, still not effect.

May it is to do with some (.)dot stuff?

  1. Disable all Gnome Shell extensions using Extensions apps and reboot to test (sometimes only disabling an extension is not enough to actually remove it from the Shell).

  2. If you still have issues, rename ~/.config then logout, login again and test if it works. If it does, then the culprit is something inside this folder, you will have to find it yourself by trial and error (journalctl -xp3 -b may help tho).

Disabling Gnome extensions and rebooting doesn't have any effect.

Yup! renaming .config file and re-logging in does pinpoint the issue to the folder!

I tried renaming the dconf folder in the .config directory and logging back in(for checking), and then reverting as before.
But now everything has become like stock gnome, and I cannot revert back, even after renaming the folder!
:sweat_smile:

Now I will reset my home directory, delete everything and start again.

Now that I have formatted my Home partition and started afresh, the issue seems to have got resolved.

Thanks, @Cannabis and @LFOM, for your Help!
