Windows 10: Windows 11 screen saver locks after a minute despite settings

My screen saver pops up and locks the screen after 1 minute, even though all settings say 10 minutes. Even the screen saver timer is at 10 minutes. How do I change it so the settings take effect? Thanks!

Howto change screen saver settings?

HI,

My problem is that no matter how I try I can't budge the screen saver setting from 1 minute. I set it to 30minutes and it defaults back to 1 minute. This is so unbelievably frustrating. Is there a solution to this?

 

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?
