Setting the timeout for Lock Screen

• Press Windows + I and select personalization.
  
• Select Lock screen.
  
  
• Select the Screen Timeout setting.
  
• Select the time of timeout you need and check.

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

 

Grey screen

I have an Dell E6400 laptop running Window 10 Pro. I can't give any more details because upon startup my laptop doesn't show any thing else except an infinite grey screen followed by 3 short beeps.This
is what happened:

My computer was working fine the last time I successfully used it, which was about 3 days ago. Today, I opened the laptop, and when the screen turned on, it was solid grey. Tried pressing
F12 but the computer does not respond. I had to hold down power button to restart yet the screen went straight to grey when it turned back on. Tried to get to Safe Mode by restarting again and pressing F12, no luck. Also i have tried checking with the ram
and hard-disk but still no good. Tried letting the computer just sit with the grey screen, nothing happened. I honestly have no idea what could have caused this. No error messages, no recent updates or installations, etc.

Any suggestions?
