How to Prevent Your Screen From Blacking Out So Fast

Windows 10 settings seems to be ignoring your changes.

Try this...

Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Display adapters
Right click the current display adapter
Click Properties
Click Driver tab
Click Rollback driver if the option is available

If not
Right click the current display adapter
Click Uninstall
Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device."
Exit Device Manager
Restart

Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

Try again...

Hi Steve. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

If the Power Options are set to default or Never, then the only other thing it could be in Screensaver settings which have a bug that invoikes a 1 minute blank screensaver when you chose certain Background Theme slideshows from the lush collection in Theme settings and Store.

So go to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen then scroll down to Screensaver Settings, make sure it's set to None.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
