Windows 10: How do I automatically set the screensaver wait time to 9999 in Windows 10?

Hello, Is there a way to automatically set the screensaver wait time to 9999 upon boot-up in Windows Server 2019 Datacenter?Note: I do not have access to registry files, so this might be impossible.I'm on a work laptop, with many virtual desktops up on my screen. There's one box that I use to monitor a couple status displays, but otherwise I don't touch it. I constantly forget to manually reset the wait time, and have to re-log into the box on a daily basis as a result. Alternatively, is there a way to drop a shortcut to the Desktop that leads to the Screensaver dialog box? Not an icon that

:)

Setting Picture Screensaver for Multiple Screens

Hi Daryan,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, I like to know; are you using any third-party screensaver?

If yes I suggest you to change the screensaver to Windows default screensavers and check if it helps.

To set the Screensaver on the extended display, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Right-click on a blank area of your desktop and select “Personalize.”

Step 2: Click “Screen Saver” at the bottom-right corner of the window.

Step 3: Select the desired screen saver from the drop-down menu and indicate a “wait” time in minutes. The screensaver will come on automatically after the computer has been idle for that period of time.

Step 4: Check the “On resume, display logon screen” for added security, if desired. This feature requires you to enter your password when resuming your Windows session.

Step 5: Click “Apply” and then “OK.”

Step 6: Click on the “Display” link at the bottom left.

Step 7: Click “Adjust Resolution” on the left.

Step 8: Choose “Extend these displays” from the Multiple Displays drop-down menu if you’d like a single screensaver to travel across both displays. Click “Duplicate these displays” if you want a duplicated screen
saver to display on each monitor.

Step 9: Click “OK.”



Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
