Hi,
You may try the following steps and check if it helps:
If that doesn't work, it may be using the (thoroughly hidden) secret "System Unattended Sleep timeout" value.
1.Open the Registry Editor by searching for Regedit in the start menu or search bar
2.Navigate to the following path with the bar on the side: HKEYLOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7”
3.Double left-click the Attributes value to open the Properties window in the right hand-pane
4.Change the value in the Value data box from 1 to 2, then click OK
5.Go to Power Options in the Control Panel and click change plan settings
6.Click on Change Advanced Power Options
7.Expand the Display item and choose Console lock display off timeout
Note: Make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it.

Besides checking the screen saver settings, check the power plan settings. Control Power->Power Options. Make sure the monitor time out and sleep time are set beyond a minute or never. Check the advanced settings, if your system is a laptop on battery, make sure the battery is charged. In low power state the system can either shutdown or sleep.
If the system is sleeping, you can disable the request for password in Group Policy. run gpedit.msc. Computer Configuration->System->Power Management->Sleep Settings: disable - Require a password when a computer wakes (on battery)
