Windows 10: Changing Screen Saver settings on PC

There must be some way to increase the time to allow Windows update t****sh the desktop goes to bubbles and turn to black and blocks the update to finish. the circling little dots are not enough to keep it open long enough to install.


***Original title: How do I change the time before my desktop goes to bubbles? My widows up date can not upload after that.***

Howto change screen saver settings?

HI,

My problem is that no matter how I try I can't budge the screen saver setting from 1 minute. I set it to 30minutes and it defaults back to 1 minute. This is so unbelievably frustrating. Is there a solution to this?
