Windows 10: How to extend the sign-in again time beyond 15 minutes

HelloI have Windows 11 Home. My account is protected with a password.I would like Windows to do this: 1.- Have the screen turned off after 10-15 minutes no screen saver 2.- Have the PC locked require passwords again after 1-2 hours of inactivity, or when returning from sleep/hibernate/boot. 3.- Have the PC go to sleep/hibernate after 4 hours.Problem is that the lock option found at "Settings>Accounts>Sign-in options>If you have been away...." only allows to set the lock time require sign-in again up to 15 minutes.Is there any way to do this as requested?

Network drivers take a long time (15+ minutes) to install

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 20H1 and I have a problem.

Any network driver that is listed under Network adaptors in Device Manager takes a very long time to get installed. This includes the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility driver, TAP-Windows Adaptor V9, and ... most importantly ... various Hyper-V network drivers,
i.e. Virtual Switch, Virtual Extension, Virtual Adaptor, etc.

Examples:

1. If I grab a copy of tap-windows-9.21.2.exe and run it, the installation takes 15+ minutes, and all this time is spent waiting for Windows to configure the driver class. During this time, tap-windows-9.21.2.exe appears stuck.
   
2. If ask Device Manager's Add Hardware Wizard to install an arbitrary Network Adaptor, even Microsoft Loopback Adaptor, again, the installation takes 15+ minutes, during which the Add Hardware Wizard appears stuck.
3. If Hyper-V Manager attempts to configure a virtual adaptor, switch, extension, etc., again, the installation of the virtual device's driver takes 15+ minutes.

During this 15+ minutes, the driver appears in Device Manager with a yellow icon. The Properties window reads:

Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device. (Code 56)

Perhaps the most obvious workaround is to suck it up and with the 15+ minutes. Sadly, no. While I might have had the patience to wait 15+ minutes, some apps, like Hyper-V Manager don't. They bail with an error message.

Steps that I have followed to troubleshoot this issue:

• Running various Windows and Microsoft Support troubleshooters
• Resetting the network configuration, both via Setting and via netcfg -d
• Uninstalling all apps that install a network adaptor and starting over from zero
• Updating Windows

 

Screen time will not extend

Hello, I have a child as a family member. When she asks for more screen time no request is received by myself. When I try to extend or change screen time without the request, nothing changes. They are still locked out and I am unable to extend or remove
screen time limits. This happens multiple times. It does not fix itself when I restart, reboot or sign out/sign in again on both computers (mine or a microsoft family account accessed form any device). This is really, frustrating. I have followed the suggestions
from other forums and the suggestion on the family help page (reboot computer).

Thank you for your help.

 

N97 15 minute call limit?!?

The thing is that before I went to version 20, I have had conversations longer than 15 minutes without a problem. 20 is when this started happening. I just upgraded to 21, but not yet have the opportunity to have 15+ minute discussion. Maybe version
21's listed enhancement of "Improved call reliability" addresses this bug? Grrrr!
