Screen keeps turning off despite changing it in Control Panel

Leefoo · 02 Dec 2017

I ran some diagnostic tools (System Mechanic) and it reset my settings for Screen Saving and Password.

I have reset them to 'Never' (see attachment), but obviously something else needs changed, because the Screen when dark and it wanted my password (which luckily I remembered).

So, what setting am I missing?

Thx

Hi Leefoo.

Have you checked Screen Saver settings?

Start > Personalization > Lock Screen > scroll to bottom of the right hand side of screen?

If that is not it you can search a thread "Screen turns off after 2 minutes". There was one just recently. I will see if I can find as well.
