Introduction
In Windows 10, we have default lock screen showing a like screen saver when turning off the display. It is a good feature for securing your PC when you are away for a long time. The only problem is the timing of the lock out. The default time is set to be, generally, 5 minutes which is quite a long time for someone else to access your files and documents. But, it is possible to increase / decrease the time of turning off the display for the lock screen.
