Eleanor_Huynh  Please have an option to not use it.  I don't know a lot about using Windows 10 so please leave this off of my computer.

Hi,

there is nothing to worry about, all you have to do is go to the settings, and click/tap on this toggle button, that's it.

 

 

insiders and lots of others have tested this feature for months to make it ready for broader rollout.

 

and by default, the time out is set to 2 Hours, which is pretty long time, I intentionally set it to 5 minutes as you can see in the screenshot.

    HotCakeX Is it possible to have a custom input for the timeout?

    Say I want to make it sleep in a couple of seconds, or maybe just add some more dropdown options for it.

    I know that the flag for immediate timeout is available, but why don't just make it easier for the user and add some more options right on the settings.

      There is no area to enter custom input but you can request it using the feedback button on Edge.
