Windows 10 and 11 screen saver and lock screen guides

Users of Windows 10 and Windows 11 can manage screen saver settings through the Personalization menu within the Settings app. By navigating to Personalization, then Lock screen, users can select a screen saver from a drop-down list and configure the idle wait time. For added security, the 'On resume, display logon screen' option can be enabled to require a password or PIN upon returning to the device.

Technical issues regarding the Windows 11 lock screen, such as it failing to appear during boot, may be caused by corrupted system files, account problems, buggy updates, or misconfigured settings. Troubleshooting steps for these issues include performing a force restart of the PC or booting the system into Safe Mode to regain access and resolve the error.
