Adjusting Screen Display Time in Windows 10

For users on Windows 10, the process is straightforward and can be done through the system's built-in settings.

Follow these steps to modify your screen display time:

  1. Open Search: Begin by navigating to the Windows search bar on your taskbar.
  2. Type 'Sleep': In the search bar, type the word sleep.
  3. Access Power & Sleep Settings: From the search results, click on the option labeled "Power & sleep settings."
    • Note: Clicking this will open a dedicated "Power and Sleep" dialogue window.
  4. Set Screen Timeout: Within this window, you will find various controls for power management. From here, you can directly adjust the duration after which your screen should be turned off when inactive, allowing you to customize your display's behavior to your preference.

These settings provide flexibility for both productivity and energy conservation, ensuring your screen stays on as long as you need it or turns off to save power when not in use.
