    I am completely unable to disable lock timeout to login screen.


    My laptop locks after 10 minutes of inactivity. I have gone through the power settings and either turned off or changed to a much higher number every single option to turn off display, sleep, etc. for both on battery and on power. I've tried every Group Policy suggestion. I've checked and edited every registry entry I could find by searching and from Google that has to do with inactivity timeout lock. No matter what I do, my computer still locks after 10 minutes of inactivity. This is a work computer, so It's probably set by my IT department. But I have administrator access, so I feel like there's got to be a way to change it. I am entirely out of ideas. Please help!

    :)

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen
