5290 2-in-1 Lock Disabling
After my computer’s display turns off, it locks after a brief period of time. Is there a way to disable the locking? I have a screensaver that is tied to a game that I run before I go to sleep. But, the locking turns it off. I looked at the screensaver settings. The display logon box is unchecked. How can I disable the lack so that my screensaver runs all night while I sleep?

Open Settings, Personalization, Lock Screen and change the settings.

Thank you for the reply, Mary. I might have found that. There is a setting at the top of the Windows Hello section that possibly does what I was looking for. But, it seems that the screen turning off also turns off Bluetooth. Is there a way to change that? I looked at the power, Bluetooth, and audio settings; but, I did not see it in any of those. It seems that disabling the sleep timer worked for the Bluetooth power. Thank you again for the reply. I hope that this computer will last many years. It has been a great replacement for my Surface Pro 2, which has a swollen battery. I have an Alienware desktop and it still works great overall even after 10 years. The only things that I know of that remain now are pairing my pen and fixing the jitter at the optimal resolution. But, that fix might fall on Dell's shoulders. But, those are much lower priorities. Thank you, Dell, for building great products!
