Make sure that this one is not checked.

Open Power Options Properties...
Start | Run | Type: powercfg.cpl | Click OK |
Advanced tab | UNCheck:
Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby |
Click Apply | Click OK

"On resume password protect" is not checked. "On resume display Welcome
Screen" is not checked. Anyway, it's not the Welcome screen that I'm
seeing it's the "turn off computer" screen. Fast User Switchung is turned
on, should I turn it off?

When I tap the mouse to exit my screensaver I get the "turn off
computer" message (with the restart, turn off, standby buttons). If I
click "cancel" it goes away and all is well. How do I fix this?
