Windows 10: Screen Locks after 1 minute

Please Help,


My computer locks itself after 1 min of inactivity.


I've tried: Changing theme to Default

Changing Screen Saver settings to different time/off


Changing the Power plan in Power Options


Editing the values in Windows Registry with Regedit


Changed timeout values in Command Prompt


Updated my graphics drivers


Nothing seems to fix the issue it just randomly started yesterday.


Thanks for your help.

Any other suggestions? This is a royal PITA!

 

Win10 screen locks after 1 minute

I am using Win10. I have set the power to not shut down or go into screen saver mode to NEVER. Screen saver locks after 1 minute. How can this change?

I have tried going into settings - personalization - lock screen. There is no screen saver mode in there.

Thanks.

We appreciate your response and the screenshots you provided! Since there's nothing wrong with the power options, we suggest that you check the screen saver. The screen saver might have been set to "Blank" with a timer of 1 minute. If it's set like that,
simply change the "Blank" to "None". Here are the steps on how to change the screen saver settings:

• Go to Settings, then click Personalization.
• Look for Lock screen, and select Screen saver settings.
• In the Screen saver drop down, choose None.
• Click Apply, then OK.

Once done, you can also restart your computer to make sure that the settings has been saved. Observe your computer and see if the issue persists.

We'll be looking forward to your feedback.
