HOW TO EXTEND  MY SCREEN TIME

Hi @GP06,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be glad to help you! 

If your HP ENVY x360 - m6-aq103dx is locking too quickly, it may be due to your screen timeout settings or power and sleep settings in Windows. Here's how you can extend the screen time:

Change Screen Timeout in Settings:

• Press Windows + I to open Settings.
• Go to System > Power & sleep.
• Under Screen, adjust the time for when your screen turns off (e.g., "On battery power, turn off after" and "When plugged in, turn off after").
• Set a longer duration, such as 10 or 30 minutes, or select Never if you prefer the screen to stay on indefinitely.

Adjust Lock Screen Settings:

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
• Scroll to the Require sign-in section.
• Set it to Never or adjust the time to a longer duration.

Update Advanced Power Options:

• Press Windows + X and select Power Options.
• Click on Additional power settings on the right.
• Select your active power plan, then click Change plan settings.
• Click Change advanced power settings.
• Expand Display > Turn off display after and set the desired timeout.

Check Screen Saver Settings:

• Press Windows + S and type Screen saver.
• Select Change screen saver.
• If a screen saver is enabled, set the Wait time to a longer duration or disable it altogether.

Prevent Sleep Mode While Active:

• In Power & sleep settings, ensure that Sleep settings are also adjusted for a longer time or disabled for both "On battery power" and "Plugged in" modes.

These changes should ensure your laptop doesn’t lock or turn off the screen too quickly.
