How to Change the Windows 11 Lock Screen Timeout

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

The Windows 11 lock screen will time out and shut off your display in less than 30 seconds — but what if you want it to stay on longer? You’ll need to edit the registry to enable the timeout settings in Windows 11.

Solutie

Enable the Setting in the Registry Manually

Windows 11 doesn’t display the option to change the lock screen timeout setting anywhere by default. The most similar settings are the display timeout settings when your PC is not locked.

  • You’ll need to use the Registry Editor (RegEdit) to enable the setting before you can change it.
  • Begin by launching Regedit — open up the Start Menu, type “regedit” into the search bar, then hit Enter or click “Open.”

Navigate to the following address in RegEdit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7

Open RegEdit, then proceed to the specified file path. Double-check that you're in the correct place.

Double-click the DWORD named “Attributes” to modify its value.

Change “Data Value” from 1 to 2, then click “OK.”

That is the only thing you need to change in the registry, so close out RegEdit. If you ever want to disable the option, just change the value back to 1.
