For example if you want to set the time out to 20 minutes you need to change the value of this registry key to From command line you can run the below command to change screen saver timeout limit. You can password protection by setting the data in ScreenSaverIsSecure to 1. If you set this to 0, you will not be asked to provide password when you interrupt the screen saver to resume the user session.

Read the post Change screen saver from windows command line using registry key. The commands for disabling screensaver and for changing timeout appear identical. Is this correct? Thanks in advance! Our upload to website I can download. Thanks for help. Yours, Harold. Would a value of 0 do that? So you meant never activate the screensaver, right? This is not a screen saver then. The display becomes blank after some time which is controlled by powersettings. Open powercfg.

Here you can increase the timeout period or set it to never. Actually, the information above is not correct or at least not complete for Win7 Pro. But that behavior is not controlled by the powerconfig control panel. Is it possible to run the screen saver for a limited amount of time then returns to desktop automatically?

What may be throwing some people is if a policy has been set on the system regarding the screensaver.
