Windows 10: Adjust Screen Sleep to Lock Timeout

I've seen this Registry setting before, but I just did a web search and couldn't find it. When the screen times out and turns off, there are a couple of seconds during which you can wiggle the mouse or press the space bar and the screen will return, but not be locked. After that time is up, the screen locks. In other words, the screen doesn't lock for a couple of seconds after it goes blank. What is that Registry setting to adjust this delay?

Lock Screen on timeout Windows 10

Nothing here has solved my problem; it is this: My lock screen will "lock" after only a few minutes away from the computer, requiring my PIN to get back in. I have "sleep" and "screen timeout" both set to one hour, but that doesn't seem to matter - the
lock screen will kick in after only a few minutes.

The "lock screen" settings under "settings" does not include anything that allows you to adjust the lock screen timeout - that is,the ability to adjust when your screen reverts to the lock screen and requires log-in. You CAN adjust screen-saver and power
down time-outs, but apparently NOT the lock screen itself. There's the nut of my question - and frustration.

I simply want my lock-screen to not "lock", consistent with screen-saver time-out. It's not the same thing, unfortunately.

I may be posting this as a reply to you, but the question goes back to everyone who is interested in this thread.
