If you are fixing lock screen timeout on Windows 11, the settings that control how long the lock screen stays active while your PC is locked are on the Lock screen page in Settings. When the lock screen slideshow stops too soon, or never starts, the cause is usually one of three slideshow options. This article shows where to find them and how to adjust each one.

• Open Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Advanced slideshow settings and raise the slideshow play time.
• The slideshow settings only apply when the lock screen background is set to a slideshow.
• To check the result, lock your PC with Windows + L and watch how long the lock screen stays active.

Changing lock screen wallpaper in Windows 11 is done on the lock screen page of Settings. It controls what you see when your PC starts or wakes from sleep. You can show rotating images from Microsoft, a single picture of your own, or a slideshow made from folders on your device.

• Open Settings → Personalization → Lock screen, then use Change your lock screen background to pick the background type.
• To use your own image, choose the picture type and select Browse for a lock screen picture.
• Press Windows + L to lock your PC and check the new background.
