Windows 10: Require Password after Screen Timeout

Quite simply, is it possible to change my Windows 10 settings to require a password after the screen turns off?Power & Sleep settings allow you to set a timer for when your screen turns off and when your computer goes to sleep. When my computer goes to sleep, I have to enter a password upon waking it back up. I would like the same thing to happen when my screen turns off so that my computer doesn't go to sleep but requires a password. Is this even possible?If you're curious, I want to do this with workstations that are accessed remotely. They can't be accessed when they go to sleep, so

:)
