How to change the screen timeout or sleep in Windows

It is important to highlight that the suspend option in Windows is responsible for saving all the work that is open, the programs, the state of the programs, among other options, in RAM memory, random access memory. So RAM is a fast memory so when you suspend the computer, everything is saved there and when the computer is turned on again all the information is retrieved quickly.

Emphasizing that the computer must be connected to the electrical current and in case of having a laptop it must have a battery. Since it is necessary to administer the electrical current to the memory so that it can maintain the state. Because if at some point you find yourself without power you can erase everything, so suspend saves everything but still consumes a little bit of power.

On the other hand, we must bear in mind that with Windows 10 we can turn off the computer screen without having to suspend, as well as it is possible to enable or disable the suspension. Therefore, below we will tell you how to change the screen sleep time.

Easily Change Screen Sleep Time in Windows 10

Initially it should be noted that the suspension time is uncomfortable for some users because they do not know how to change it. For this reason, we will explain below the steps to follow in order to modify it.

screen shutting down

First of all, you must enter the computer and on the desktop you have to right click to open a small window where you will find several options, among which “personalization” stands out, which you have to click on.

Once the new window opens, click on “lock screen” located in the left panel. Next, in the options that it contains, you should look for “screen timeout configuration”.

It will display the time for screen off and screen suspension in which you have to choose the time preferred by the user or if you prefer you can select “never” to avoid the hassle of suspension. When performing the procedure, you can exit that screen and close the configuration, so when you are back on the desktop, you can right-click again and this time click on “update”.

Then you can enter the previous customization option to verify if the process was established and carried out correctly.

It should be noted that to change the shutdown and suspension time of the Windows 8, 8.1 and 7 system, the following procedure can be carried out. First of all, for devices with a Windows 8 and 8.1 system, look for the “configuration” option. Once you enter, click on “change PC settings”, so when you are inside the configuration, the first option is selected, which is “PC and devices”.

System setup options

In the same way, when the new window is opened, click on the “start/off and suspension” section, then the suspension and screen alternatives can be displayed. In that place you must choose the option of preference, the minutes you want or choose the “never” option.

On the other hand, if you have the Windows 7 system, you can click on “start” in this way you can locate the “control panel” option in the menu on the right side, which must be opened and locate “system and security”. Once you open it you have to choose “power options”.

When the new window is opened, the section “choose when the screen turns off” should be displayed in the menu on the right side. Later you can configure the option to “turn off the screen” and “put the computer to sleep” in which you can indicate the desired minutes.

In short, when applying the desired changes you can save and the window closes. In this way we have completed the process, taking into account that if you wish you can turn off the screen from the taskbar and also highlighting that Windows 10 offers impressive functions.
