  1. Windows 11 Lock screen timeout after a few minutes


    Hello, I have a few laptops Lenovo and Dell that timeout after only a few minutes.They have already been clean formatted again, all possible power, sleep and screen timeout options have been set to 2h, I have been scouting forums all day long. There are no GPOs pushing these settings, and they are not manged by Intune either. Even tried messing with the registry, still no luckHas anyone ever find a solution for this ? Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows 11 locks my screen after 1 minute

    On my new Windows 11 laptop, the screen locks after 1 minute, no matter what settings I change. Things I've tried:

    • Power plan setting: Turn off display after 4 minutes (both battery and plugged in)
    • Advanced power plan setting: Sleep / Sleep after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
    • Advanced power plan setting: System unattended sleep timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
    • Advanced power plan setting: Display / Turn off display after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
    • Advanced power plan setting: Display / Console lock display off timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
    • System > Power & Battery setting: Screen and Sleep / Turn off my screen after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in) (also recommended here)
    • Set the screensaver to "none"
    At this point I'm stumped. Anything else that might be causing this?
