2 Ways to Set Lock Screen Timeout in Windows 10 (+Picture)
Lock screen timeout is the time limit for locking the laptop / computer screen. This feature provided by windows is great when we want to secure our laptop/computer when we are not using it.
So windows will lock our screen automatically after our laptop / computer is silent for some time and will display a screensaver or just turn off the screen.
Previously Screensavers were used to prevent burn out on CRT monitors, but now they are more of a security feature. For example, if we are away from the computer for a few hours the chances are that someone might be able to access our files, passwords etc., if the laptop / computer is not locked or turned off by us.

But if we have set lock screen timeout settings correctly then the display will automatically turn off after the laptop/computer is left idle for a few minutes and if someone tries to access it, windows will ask for password to enter.
However, this feature also has a problem that is sometimes the lock screen timeout is set to 5 minutes which means the laptop / computer will lock the screen after being left idle for 5 minutes.
Now, this setting annoys a lot of users because their laptops/computers can lock frequently and they have to enter the password every time it takes a lot of time. To prevent this from happening, we need to increase the lock screen timeout setting in Windows 10 in order to prevent the screen from turning off frequently.
