Windows 10: After each restart, Screen timeout is reset to "Never"

Every time I restart my computer (Windows 10 Home 64 bit), the setting under Power & Sleep -> Screen which controls the length of time before the screen blacks out is reset to "Never" *Mad. I don't want Windows to do this. I want this setting to stay at 10 minutes. How can I change this so that it remains at 10 minutes after a re-start?

Screen Timeout Resets to 15 Minutes With Each Startup

Within the last week, screen timeout has started to automatically reset to 15 minutes each time I restart my laptop. I reset it to never timeout, and that's fine until I restart the computer the next day. I've run SCF/Scannow and even set up a new power
plan (which also resets to the previous plan). I've reset the timeout in both the Lock Screen/Screen Timeout and the Control Panel Power Options locations, but the problem persists.

Solution?

HI

if you are using windows10, NEVER option is available

 

Try to enter Advanced Settings below your Power options plan and change the Screen setting. I guess it has a higher priority, if you like, to set the correct time.

 

That was a good thought, but it didn't fix the problem. *Mad

 

Check also screen saver settings. could be just blank screen saver picture.

 

Maybe you'll find any hints under this link.

I've just read on a local, Polish, forum a suggestion to check ALL the programs running in the background to see if any of them is not a culprit. In other words: maybe one of the settings of an X application is set to: Reset screen timeout to Never after Windows reboots

I know it sounds crazy but I would add to that list ALL the periferals. If everything fails I start by eliminating even the most improbable options.

Have you tried to:
1. boot your PC in Safe Mode?
2. check BIOS settings?
3. turn (temporarily or for good) off Fast Startup? - on some machines it's not working correctly
