issue with sreen time-out

Hi, 

 

I'm having this weird issue with my screen time-out. 

I have tested out the screensavers in Windows 11.

After disabling my screensaver, I've noticed that my screen time-out timer is using the settings  from my screensaver and not from the regular screen time out settings in windows 11.

So even though my timer is set for 15 min it will still turn of the sceen in 1 min, which is the settings used in the screensaver settings even though the screensaver is set to none. I've tested this, if I increase the time in the sreensaver setting my screen turns off from the selected time i've chosen.

How can I solve this?

    1. Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.
    2. Go to Lock screen.
    3. Scroll down and click on Screen saver settings.
    4. Ensure that the Screen saver is set to None.
    5. Click on Apply and then OK.

    I am having a siomilar issue with Windows 11. Although, come to think of it, If I am using a program such as Excel or Word, this doesn't happen. Pretty much just when on internet. Hope someone can fugure this out.
