I've seen lots of different post about how to enable the screen saver in Win 10 and then go to power options and set the time. But where in the reg. can you set the time? In Win 7 it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop\ScreenSaveTimeOut but that doesn't seem to work for Win 10. Anyone know how?
Works for me!

I don't have that key in Windows 10, but looking in gpedit.msc there is a setting for screensaver timeout...

Under the Windows key, you have to create the Control Panel key, then the Desktop sub-key, then create the ScreenSaveTimeOut String in the right hand pane with a 60 second incremental value.

Done, set to 240
