How can I prevent Windows 10 from going to sleep on the lock screen? I want the screen to stay on forever on the lock screen without moving the mouse.
This would be easy to achieve if I was signed in and viewing my desktop, but that's not what I'm looking for: How to adjust power and sleep settings. The computer still turns off the screen after a very short time on lock screen (probably a minute).
The display timeout on the lock screen is under Console lock display off timeout in Power Options advanced settings. The setting is hidden by default and can be enabled in the registry.
Open the Registry Editor by clicking start and type regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7. Double-click Attributes and change the value data from 1 to 2.
Click start and type edit power plan, open it then click Change advanced power settings.
Expand Display then you should be able to see the Console lock display off time-out setting.
Change this to whatever suits you. 0 for never.
