Windows 10 does not lock when the screen powers off in spotlight

I am using windows 10 pro 2004 version 19041.388

In the lock screen settings when I pick the background as windows spotlight when the screen powers off due to inactivity, when I move the mouse the screen comes back without the asking for password.

When I pick the background as "Slideshow" after the screen powers off the lock screen appears when the mouse is moved.

How can I make windows ask for password after the screen powers off when background is picked as windows spotlight?

Hello mdlmega, and welcome to Ten Forums.

You might see if using the tutorial below to set the DelayLockInterval DWORD value to "0" to always instantly require you to sign-in after the display turns off may help with this.

Thanks that fixed the problem.

When I switched to spotlight from the menu I noticed that windows deletes that key value. I had to add it manually.
