How to Choose When Windows 10 Turns Off Your Screen

By default, leaving your computer screen on for extended periods of time wastes power and, the battery life on a laptop. Thankfully, Windows 10 lets you decide how long the screen will stay on when the PC is plugged in and when it’s running off the battery. Of course, if you’re using a desktop PC, you won’t see the option for battery power. Generally speaking, the display on a Windows 10 computer will automatically turn off when the screen is left idle for ten minutes. If it is longer or shorter than your expected time limit, you can go to choose when to turn off the display. Here’s how to stop your screen from turning off in Windows 10.
