Windows 10: it refuses to stay on without input for longer than 1 minute

Have you gone Settings, System, Power & sleep and set the times for Screen and Sleep to Never?

Also click on Additional Power settings.

Yes please let me know any fixes that might work, screen saver is also set to not turn off unless its selected.

Windows must be very tired-refuses to stay awake

Hi, there are several extensive threads on this. Please feel free to search the forum and use it as a resource.

example: I searched the forum for
sleep two minutes




Refining the search may give more results- I suggest you try
Solved sleep minutes
for example.

If you find no solution, please post back listing what you've tried. Good luck

 

Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
   
2. Then click Language preferences.
   
3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
   
4. Click the "Region" option
   
5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
   
6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
   
7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
   
8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)
   

I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

Hope it will help you, too!

 

Windows goes to lock screen after 1 minute "not touching" the computer

Open Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign in options

Click in the Require sign in list box

Choose a longer time than 1 minute in the list box.
