您可能需要更改锁定屏幕超时设置，因为时间设置得太低或太高，Windows无法在 PC 空闲时锁定屏幕。当您想在不使用 PC 时保护它时，这是一个很好的功能。因此，Windows所做的是，它会在您的 PC 空闲一定时间后自动锁定您的屏幕，并显示屏幕保护程序或关闭显示器。

早期屏幕保护程序用于防止^{(Screensavers)}CRT显示器烧坏，但现在它更像是一种安全功能。例如，如果您离开计算机几个小时，如果您没有锁定或关闭 PC，则很有可能有人会访问您的文件、密码等。但是如果你正确设置了锁屏超时设置，那么在电脑闲置几分钟后显示器会自动关闭，如果有人试图访问它，Windows会要求登录密码。

此安全功能的唯一问题是有时锁定屏幕超时设置为 5 分钟，这意味着计算机将在 PC 闲置 5 分钟后锁定屏幕。现在，这个设置惹恼了很多用户，因为他们的电脑经常被锁定，他们每次都必须输入密码，这浪费了他们很多时间。为了防止这种情况发生，您需要在Windows 10中增加锁屏超时设置，以防止频繁关闭显示。
