It), uninstalling my laptop's power management driver and reinstalling it, creating a group policy setting to force the desired timeout, running "sfc /scannow" from a repair console, etc.įinally, as suggested by Niki Han earlier in this post, I started digging through the output from Process Monitor when I attempted to change my screensaver timeout. The resolution that ended up working for me isn't listed anywhere else here, so I figured I'd post my findings in case they can help someone elseįirst I tried many other proposed solutions: uninstalling Cisco An圜onnect (which I did have installed), checking my screensaver and power settings, checking for Reset Security Policies (couldn't do that, since my User Accounts control panel doesn't have I know this post is a little old, but it kept coming up in my searches for a resolution to this same issue. As far as I can see my only option is to delete the local profile. I consider this a bug, since even if the settings were enforced by Exchange, the setting should be removed after removing from control panel. So basically it is ignoring any setting in personalization, and is fixed at 1 minute with screen lock.
Locks the screen, even though this is not set either. But if I change the screensaver timeout value, as soon as I go back into the settings, it is back at 1 minute.Īctually I managed to get it to say 15 minutes in there by editing the local GPO (User Config\Admin Templates\Personalization\Screen saver timeout) but even when it says 15 minutes in there, it comes on after 1 minute. I got so fed up with it I removed the Exchange account from mail app and rebooted. I believe it was change by the mail app, enforcing Exchange ActiveSync policies to 1 minute (even though the server does not enforce 1 minute on a phone). I am unable to change the screensaver timeout in Windows 8 Pro RTM.
