Hi @Todd Chester ,
I think the easiest way to achieve this is to policies.
Where are the Windows-11 screen saver registry setting?

Hi All,
This works in Wndows-10, but not in Windows 11:
What are the correct settings?
REGEDIT4
; screen saver settings
; Note: ScreenSaveTimeOut is in seconds 600 sec = 10 minutes
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="600"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1"
Many thanks,
-T

2022-12-25T02:55:58.7+00:00 Hi TKujala ,
1) I am not seeing the grace period in the policies
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"ScreenSaverGracePeriod"=dword:0000012c2) I really, really need the registry settings/locations for what I am doing
Thank you for the help,
-T

2022-12-26T19:08:13.583+00:00 Hi Docs,
I do know how to do all this. As I have stated twice before. I NEED THE REGISTRY SETTINGS! I have a reason for this which I have not stated. I thought asking for the registry setting was sufficient,
Do you know the registry settings? They changed since Windows-10.
Thank you for the help anyway. Sorry for the frustration.

2022-12-29T06:19:45.297+00:00 Figured it out. The registry settings have not changed. But, you can not be in "Settings" when you add them to the registry or they do not take.
