Windows 10: Why can't I easily change my screen timeout like in Android?

I'm trying to use the Surface as my ****ngs I took for granted are just non existent in Windows. Screen timeout being a big one. I will often refer to a pdf for well over 5 minutes or teach a class where I need the screen to stay on for over five minutes to play the next song. Yet I don't see a quick way to do this, or simple way. I seem to have to navigate into the screen saver and power settings to change things which is extremely annoying.


ChromeOS is making great strides to improve tablet mode for chromebooks. It doesn't seem like Microsoft gives a damn ab****ck as Android or IOS. It's now 2020, and there are so many simple little things that seem like they should just exist by now. Yet Windows has no simple quick toggle area in the taskbar that should make changing a bulk of the settings quick and seamless.


Am I missing something that searching hasn't' helped find or am I somewhat sp****ngs like a cohesive and intuitive file system like Windows has and has gotten right for years. You should learn from what the competiti****ndows as a tablet doesn't seem to be much better than my og RT which is what, a decade old now?

Unable to change windows 10 timeout

Unable to change windows 10 timeout

I have tried all options suggested like;

• changing lock setting in Persoanlize-lock screen-screen save settings- change wait value (doesnt hold value, whatever I set comes back to 2).
• Changed registry to enable Power Options-Sleep-Sytem unattended sleep timeout , changed it to 60 min
• Changed registry to enable Power Options-Display-Console lock display off timeout , changed it to 60 min
• System file checker tool didnt find any correct/missing files "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us"

None of the options work, after 2 minutes my computer locks. Is there any way out of this nightmare or should I switch to older windows?
