Unable to change windows 10 timeout

Unable to change windows 10 timeout

I have tried all options suggested like;

• changing lock setting in Persoanlize-lock screen-screen save settings- change wait value (doesnt hold value, whatever I set comes back to 2).
• Changed registry to enable Power Options-Sleep-Sytem unattended sleep timeout , changed it to 60 min
• Changed registry to enable Power Options-Display-Console lock display off timeout , changed it to 60 min
• System file checker tool didnt find any correct/missing files "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us"

None of the options work, after 2 minutes my computer locks. Is there any way out of this nightmare or should I switch to older windows?
