"Screen Locks Before Activating Screensaver"
Our organization is currently utilizing Lenovo laptops running Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise edition. For the past five years, we have implemented a Group Policy Object (GPO) to manage our screensaver settings. However, we have recently observed a brief 'locking' screen appearing before the screensaver activates. We are seeking assistance to bypass the locking screen and have the screensaver start directly. Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue before?

Be mindful of the time settings for activating the screensaver and locking your screen. Too short of an interval may disrupt productivity, while too long may pose a security risk.
