How Do I Set the Screen Time Off on My Laptop?

To set the screen time off on your laptop, effectively preventing it from turning off automatically, you need to adjust the screen timeout settings in your Windows Settings. This involves selecting the "Never" option for the screen timeout duration.

Adjusting Screen Timeout Settings in Windows

Setting your laptop screen to remain on indefinitely, or "off" in terms of automatic shutdown, is a straightforward process accessible via the system settings.

Follow these simple steps:

1. Open Settings: Press the Win + I keys simultaneously on your keyboard. This shortcut will directly open the Settings application.
2. Navigate to System: In the Settings window, look for and click on System. This section manages various core laptop functions, including display and power.
3. Select Power & Battery: From the left-hand menu within the System settings, choose Power & Battery. This area controls your device's power-saving features and battery usage.
4. Access Screen Timeout: Scroll down to find the Screen section. Here, you will see options related to when your screen turns off.
5. Adjust Duration: Use the dropdown menu next to "When plugged in, turn off my screen after" (and "On battery, turn off my screen after," if applicable) to select your desired duration. To set the screen time "off," choose Never.

This action ensures that your screen will not automatically dim or turn off due to inactivity, allowing it to remain on until you manually turn it off or put your laptop to sleep.

Understanding Screen Timeout Options

The dropdown menu in the Power & Battery settings offers various predefined durations for your screen to turn off. The most common options include:
