  2. Screensaver timeout overwrites screen timeout in lock screen

    Dear all,

    I have a weird issue in Windows 10 with the screensaver while the PC is locked.

    The screensaver timeout seems to overwrite the screen timout in the power settings, unless I set those to "Never".

    For example:

    Wait time for screensaver: 15 minutes

    Time for the screen to turn off in power settings: 30 minutes

    -> When I lock my PC, the screen is turned off after 15 minutes

    I can set the timeouts to any value I want (iE show screensaver after 1 minute and turn off screen after 1 hour), in lock screen the screen will always be turned of after the wait time in the screensaver settings.

    Only when I set the screen timeout to "Never", the screensaver will play in lock screen after the defined wait time.

    Is there any way to fix this?

    Our communications department wants to share information via the screensaver, but as a company with emphasis on sustainability we still want the screens to power off after a while.

    Thank you!

    Windows screensaver disabled after lock screen slideshow is enabled.

    Hi,

    Many people seem to be having this issue yet it is still not resolved and there is no explanation to why this happens... I enabled a lock screen slideshow and it disabled my screensaver. I enabled my screensaver and it disabled my lock screen slideshow.
    I have know idea why this happens. I just want to be able to have my lock screen slideshow when my pc is locked, and I want to have my screensaver when my pc goes to sleep after 5 min.

    Is there a way to immediately lock the screen after the screen goes off? Screensaver...

    PC hibernates / goes into sleep mode upon logout / screen lock

    I am using my work computer. It's a laptop with a power connection (not running on battery.) The laptop is hocked up to two monitors (a total of three monitors, counting the laptop's own screen - I usually keep my laptop closed, however.)
    Since I am at work I always lock the screen when I leave my computer. (I use the windows+L shortcut to lock the screen.) This all works fine.

    However, after about a minute the computer goes into sleep mode / hibernation. At least I think it does, because the two monitors goes black - and it takes a few seconds to "wake up the system" (the monitors doesn't come back to life immediately when I press a key on the keyboard / move the mouse, as they would if a screen saver was active.)
    This is very annoying if I step away from my computer for only a short while (like going to the bathroom.)

    Here's what I want:
    With power (not running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 15 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    Without power (running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 5 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    My best bet is that this is some sort of power saving scheme thingie, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do what I want. Can someone please help me with a step-by-step guide to configure my system the way I want? Thank you.
