Windows 10: What is the preferred lock screen policy for Windows 10 computers right now.

We were using the old lock screen policy that utilizes your screen saver but now the screen saver file is gone. See below...





So now I'm trying to get this to apply at the computer level leveraging the machine inactivity timeout. See below...





But I'm having no luck, my machines are still logged in when we get back to work. I'm getting a bit frustrated with this. What are the best practices for my Windows 10 machines?


Thanks,


The Weeble
