Windows 10: Screen timeout - your response does not work

I have the following question and problem; and the same issue with your response - it doesn't work. - your post says it was recently update but can't find the update. Not very helpful - see below


The screen timeout numbers in my current configuration show timeout after 15 minutes, if plugged in. However, the screen actually times out within about a minute or less. I have checked every kind of timeout setting Windows 10 lets me see, but none of these show such a short time before the screen goes blank. Thanks for your help anyhow. I wish Windows software would stop trying to "help" me such much and let me think for myself more.


How will I know if your respond - hopefully with a correct solution.
