Next time, give your son his own account in Windows and you won’t have to worry about this again. Hope that helps you restore your computer to normal functionality. You might adjust yours differently, but that’s one way to set things up. Here you can see that I have a ten minute delay before the screen saver kicks in, and then ten minutes later my display shuts off completely. I’d be a bit cautious about that feature, however, especially on a laptop, because I have heard some reports that it can cause some data corruption.īy the way, be alert that many people also end up setting their monitor sleep time to be shorter than their screen saver time, which means you never get to actually see your screen saver, even if it’s a commercial one! The way to adjust that is to go to Display in the Control Panels, and then click on Screen Saver. If you don’t see “System hibernates”, that’s because you haven’t enabled the hibernation feature, which is accessible by the Hibernate tab. As you can see, I have the default setting of 20 minutes for the monitor sleep, though you can extend it if you’d prefer. In fact, now that we’re talking about it, I’ll bet that your son just changed your “turn off monitor” setting and that your computer is still running, it’s just your monitor that’s shut down. That’s where you can make the primary adjustments. Below Sleep, use the drop-down menus to set a new time. If you want to adjust the sleep time, follow these steps: Open Settings. Go through the steps presented above to change the screensaver’s wait time. In fact, you need to go to START –> Control Panels then go to Power Options, of all places, where you’ll find: To fix it, you need to adjust the sleep time or the screensaver’s wait time. Yes, you need to go to your Control Panels, but there’s no “sleep” or “energy” option. It’s not good, not at all! This is easily adjusted, but it’s not where you may think. This will stop windows from prompting you to login every time the screen saver activates.I know what you’re talking about here, I’ve seen laptops set to shut down their screens in just three or four minutes and/or go to sleep in less than ten minutes.

Navigate to ‘Personalization’ -> ‘Lock Screen’ -> ‘Screen saver settings’ (link found near the bottom) Update Local Security Timeout via Registry (Non-Admin Users).Change Local Security Policy (Administrators Only).Disable or delay lock screen password when the screen turns off.Skip to the ‘Third-party apps’ section of this page, if that’s indeed your case. Without administrator privileges, timeouts set for computers in a domain cannot be changed. Whatever the case maybe, we’re going to take a traditional approach first by configuring the screen saver and power plan settings, then take a look at local security policy and apps built to prevent such issues. This may be due to improperly configured screen saver timeout, power and sleep settings, or local security policy set by the system administrator. Some users have struggled to disable the ‘auto lock’ and ‘screen off’ timeout feature of Windows.
