Windows 10: laptop lock screen after 1 minute even though my power settings are set to 30 mins on AC...

MY laptop screen time out and lock after 1 minute even though I am in the middle of watching something on my laptop. I have tried to change all the power options while on AC or on battery but nothing is working. i am using windows 11 and my laptop is samsung.

:)

 

Power Settings say sleep @ 30 min but computer sleeps @ 2.5 minutes

Problem started occurring since upgrading to Windows 10. Same machine running Windows 8 had no issues.

My computer isn't supposed to sleep for 15 (battery) or 30 minutes (plugged in). But it sleeps after approximately 2.5 minutes. I just tested twice while plugged in. One test I timed at 2 min 32 sec and one at 2 min 33 sec.

Huge pain in the **** as I have a very strong password and I'm accidentally locked out of my computer approx 100x / day.

Below are my power settings:

System > Power & Sleep Settings: instruct both the screen to turn off and the computer to sleep at 15 minutes when on battery and 30 minutes when plugged in.

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings: also instruct both the screen to turn off and the computer to sleep at 15 minutes when on battery and 30 minutes when plugged in.

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options: I'm running the default "Balanced (recommended)" power plan, not a custom power plan.

I've tried posting this before but the one and only reply I got from MSFT was not helpful and then MSFT stopped replying to thread so I'm creating a new post...

You can
see the bad advice I got in response here

I tried running the Power Troubleshooter as suggested but that didn't work.

I clicked the "How to create and delete a power plan" link but could not access the content as MSFT detected I was running Windows 10 and the link was to Windows 8 content so I was redirected to some Windows 10 content homepage (nothing related to power
- just general Windows 10 stuff).

Similarly the "Clean Boot" link provided had nothing regarding Windows 10.

I'M RUNNING WINDOWS 10. NO MORE WINDOWS 8 ADVICE, PLEASE.

 

Windows 11 locks my screen after 1 minute

On my new Windows 11 laptop, the screen locks after 1 minute, no matter what settings I change. Things I've tried:

• Power plan setting: Turn off display after 4 minutes (both battery and plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Sleep / Sleep after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: System unattended sleep timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Display / Turn off display after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Display / Console lock display off timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• System > Power & Battery setting: Screen and Sleep / Turn off my screen after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in) (also recommended here)
  
• Set the screensaver to "none"
  

At this point I'm stumped. Anything else that might be causing this?
