Remove screen time out

[Wandav03]

While I am working on my PC, less than 2 minutes the PC screen goes to screen saver.  I have tried everything.  Updating my BIOS, Loc k Screen to NEVER and everything else.  Settings and Control panel.  Nothing works.  Help!  I use my PC for work and it is very frustrating and messing up my production and time management to constantly have to enter my password.  I have even tried removing my passwords to no avail.

Check Advanced Power Options

1. Press Win + R, type control panel, and press Enter.
2. Click Power Options > Select your active power plan.
3. Click Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings.
4. Expand Display > Console lock display off timeout and set it to a higher value (e.g., 900 seconds).

Check Screen Saver Settings

1. Press Win + R, type control desk.cpl,,@screensaver, and press Enter.
2. Under Screen saver, set it to None and uncheck On resume, display logon screen.
3. Click Apply and OK.

Disable Dynamic Lock (if enabled)
