How to modify the time it takes for the lock screen to disappear in Windows 10

In Windows 10, the operating system has the screen lock function before logging into your account. The new experience shows the time and day, the quick status of the applications you want and a background image, which the user has regularly chosen from their images or those selected by Windows Spotlight.

Although the lock screen offers useful information and beautiful images, you have surely noticed that after 60 seconds the screen turns off when you lock your Windows 10 account. This happens even if you have changed the power settings so that the monitor never turns off or the computer never sleeps.

This is because, by design, the operating system includes a feature that detects when the device is locked and launches a 60-second counter. After the time elapses, the computer screen turns off. This function cannot be customized from Settings, even though it can be modified from the Registry editor.
