Windows 11 when slide show is turned on for lockscreen. Screen turns off at idle time set despite non idle.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It appears that you are experiencing an issue with the slideshow feature on the lock screen in Windows 11. The setting to "turn off the screen after the slideshow has played for <30 minutes>" is causing the screen to turn off even when the computer is not idle.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check Power & Sleep Settings:
   
   • Go to "Start" > "Settings" (the gear icon) > "System" > "Power & sleep."
     
   • Under the "Screen" section, check the "Turn off the display" drop-down menu and ensure it is set to a reasonable time or "Never" if you don't want the screen to turn off automatically.
     
2. Check Advanced Power Settings:
   
   • In the Power & Sleep settings window, click on "Additional power settings" under the "Related settings" section.
     
   • In the Power Options window, click on "Change plan settings" next to your current power plan.
     
   • Click on "Change advanced power settings."
     
   • In the Advanced settings window, expand the "Display" section and then "Turn off display after."
     
   • Set the time to a value that suits your preferences or set it to "Never."
     
3. Disable Slideshow on Lock Screen:
   
   • As a temporary workaround, you can disable the slideshow on the lock screen to prevent the screen from turning off unexpectedly.
     
   • Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Personalization" > "Lock screen."
     
   • Under the "Background" section, change the "Background" setting from "Slideshow" to a static image or picture.
     
4. Update Graphics Drivers:
   
   • Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues with display settings.
     
   • Visit your graphics card manufacturer's website (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and download the latest drivers for your GPU.
     
5. Perform a clean startup to check if the error is caused by interference from other third-party programs.
   
   How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
   
   Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem. These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.
