  1. Win10 Login screen idle timeout - how to change time?


    My Win10 PC will turn off the display if I boot the PC and let it idle on the Login Screen for a minute or two. How can I change that time? I want the display to remain active while sitting on the Login Screen. I've checked all the usual Power Management and local policies but I cannot figure out what is setting that timeout duration.

    Any suggestions? TIA

    Change Lock Screen Display Off Timeout in Windows 10


    It won't send you to the lock screen when the timeout has been reached.

    Console lock display off timeout is the amount of minutes Windows will wait idle with no activity while on the lock screen when a user locks the computer before timing out and automatically turning off the display.

    You might see if these below may be turning off the display instead.
