Just for answering this topic :

To remove Lock option, you need to create a registry key.

Since modifying the registry improperly may cause damage to the system, please follow the steps below to back up the registry key:
 
1. Click Start, click Run, input "REGEDIT" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following registry key by expanding the "+" beside the registry tree in the left pane:
 
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 
3. Right click on . Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", click "Export"; please name the file as "RegBackup" (without quotation marks) and then save it to the C:\ drive as a backup.
 
Note: In case we need to undo the modification, we can double click this RegBackup.reg file to restore the registry key.

After backuping the registry, try the following:

1. Navigate to the following key:
2. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, create a new DWORD value named DisableLockWorkstation and set value to 1.

Save the settings, you will see the option turns gray.

To disable Sleep option:

Open gpedit.msc and go to Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings

Enable "Turn Off Hybrid Sleep"
Disable "Allow Standby States (S1-S3) when sleeping"
