How do I set the time limit for screen lock

I was wondering if it was possible to set something so that no matter who logs into the computer the screen saver will never come on and the monitor will never turn off and how to do it. We are on a domain here and use Terminal Services, so we don't want this to disconnect our sessions. Thanks.

Is there any way to keep the lock screen from shutting me down if I don't do anything on the keyboard for a minute or 2 minutes, or whatever it is? I followed some instructions that I found on the internet that involve adding ".bak" or ".backup" to the lock screen file in "SystemApps" but it didn't have any effect. Then I clicked on "Settings" in the Start menu and got totally lost in all that stuff.

Anyone else seeing this issue? If I put my tablet into standby when I wake it I don't get the lock screen and it just goes straight to the start screen or whatever app I was using. If I put it into standby again then I'll get the lock screen the next time I wake it but then the next time it won't appear again. I've checked and it's literally every other time.

I need some sort of registry hack or software to get the current time somewhere on the sign-in screen. Please help

Hello Forum,
 
To begin with i would like to congratulate the admin team for maintaining such an awesome forum. I never felt the need to register because most of my seraches landed to this site for solution except for this one, so here i am with my problem.
 
I have 2 week old HP pavalion notebook pc with pre-installed Windows 8.1 64bit single language. Untill few days back, when i presses windows+L the lock screen would pop up immediately. But now whenever i do it, it takes time to lock.
 
I clocked it and it took approx 30-35 sec to lock. I am not sure what might be the problem or if this is  al all normal behaviour. Have to look at 'Please wait' screen for 30 sec to get lock screen image.
 
Kindly help,
Thanks.

I frequently am logging in and out of my Windows 8.1 laptop. I have a good, secure password that I use and because I'm human, sometimes I mistype it. The issue is that on these occasions, I am locked out for a good 30 seconds from attempting to
login, even for the second time.

I can understand the time delay if it were say, my 5th or 6th attempt, but for one attempt this is entirely too long. How do I go about significantly reducing this, or ideally removing it?

Thank you very much!

How to remove date and time on my lock screen of nokia xl

I sign in with my MS account (administrator) and after signing in and using win+l the time format is correct hh:mm (24hr) but after each restart the time format reverts to h:m (12hr). This after successfully upgrading from 8.1 pro 64bit to 10. What am I missing? Thanks

The whole thing started to appear around 3 days ago. The problem is that everytime I boot, windows 10 stays on a weird lock screen without any buttons for a long long time. There are just 4 icons in the bottom right corner (shut down, accesibility, ethernet...) It sometimes manages to get to desktop, and sometimes not. Not sure what caused it, could be a recent windows update, not sure tho. I ran some HDD scans and everything turned out fine, also did a registry cleanup, tried disabling lock screen, and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions or solutions?

Hey guys, I have been having a pretty major dilemma with my computer. So basically:
A few days ago (January 11, 2018), I downloaded the new windows update (forget the name every time ). It was initially working out quite well. Fast forward to like four o' clock, when I leave home for a few hours. I then come back to my computer, awakening it from its sleep, and then the lock screen is utterly broken. It appears as a white screen with red and green (maybe blue too???) lines running to and fro. My cursor as well appeared as a jumbled mess of black pixels. I have been dealing with this dilemma for the past few days (today is January 16 2018 at time of writing), and I have had no luck searching for help. If you have any knowledge of what is happening, or can offer help, then please offer it, that will be wonderful.
EDIT: Oh, forgot to include this, but I have tried a malwarebytes scan (probably at January 12, 2018), but it did not come up with anything important.

I regularly use the 24 hour time format for all of my systems.
Its not a major issue I have now with Win10, but its annoying a bit.

Before I logon to Windows 10, the default lock screen theme has the time in 12 hour format instead of the 24 hour format.
In Windows, I set everything in 24 hour time. Period. I just don't like 12 hour time.
However, when I sign out or just by locking my screen, it does show the time in 24 hour format.
But when I reboot my system it shows the time in 12 hour format.

Is this a bug or what in Win10?

Thanks!

The last two weeks I've been facing the following problem with the RTS game Lord of the Rings: BFME 2. After 3' 30" of real time gameplay I suddenly lose. I have checked all the settings to make sure there is not a timer on. The problem does not exist in the turn-based mode. A friend of mine told me that a seemingly irelevant program (internet using program) could be responsible. I uninstalled Earth 3d, e-mule and Game Spy Arcade. I also had weatherscope installed and since I could find no uninstall.exe file, I manually deleted it from C:/Program files. The only remaining on-line program is Google Desktop and the problem is still here.

P.S. I know it is a bit confusing post but please do your best. Ask me for any further info needed.

Hi,

I want to downgrade my PC from Vista Business (running for about a year) to XP Pro. I have all the necessary discs, I just wanted to know if there is a time limit for doing it?

I've looked at previous posts on downgrading but there is no mention of a time limit.

Hope you can help.

Thanks, turner2000
 

Hello,Does anyone know if there is a simple, preferably free, way to limit internet access time. For example to cut-off the adsl connection automatically at a pre-determined time?Thanks.

I've got some kids at home and I'm trying to get them out of the house more often, so i'm i've told them they can game for two hours a week on the home network. unfortunately, me being a working dad, i can't be there all the time to watch them(time-wise), so i was wondering if there were any programs out there that can limit a user's time usage by the network admin (me).

thanks for any help
 

Can anyone recommend a good program to prevent either the internet or the whole computer from being used while keeping an account as an Administrator? Everything so far I've seen either requries the user to be standard or can simply bypassed.
 

I have a very greaty computer hogging child who will not stop with the msn messenger'ing. She's constantly on it and get's one sentence of homework done in 5 hours comp time. I need to know is how to limit the run time of msn messenger. I can't seem to find anything, I've try googeling, and using firewall rules, but none have time limit specifications available. I don't want to stop the program entirely as communication as a teen is important, but can't stand that she get's consumed by it! I also don't want to buy anything, and if avoidable I dont' want any parental control programs and that junk. Maybe just a time limit program or add-in if anyone knows of something. Suggestions????

All I want is to set a time limit for say 1 hour per day that msn messenger can run on the comp. can this be acheived through msconfig or something???

Any and all thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
 

Dose anyone have an idea on how to log out users that are idle on Windows 7?

I work for a company that has computers in general areas, anyone can walk up and login and use it for business. Many of my users don't log off and later when they change their password these machines lock out their AD accounts. I was thinking that we could use the group policies that are used for terminal services to log out after being idle for x amount of time.

Thanks

Ok, I am the administrator and I want to set a time limit on my account. I have been spending to much time working and I need it to kick me off at a certain time. The problem is that when I go in to add the time limit to my account it says it only works for standard users. I can't use a standard account because I am always changing settings and installing software and it would just be a pain to jump between accounts. Anyway is there a registry value or something that I can change to be allowed to set parental controls on an administrator account?

Thanks, Tim

On most trial software i download i have 15, 30 days to use it before it locks up and becomes unusable, is there a way where i could just change my bios clock if i need more time? or is there a software program out there that will allow me to disable this time limit?

Hi all. My girlfriend's daughter has a problem, instead of doing her homework and other things she needs to do, she gets distracted by the internet - like for hours at a time. Is there any program I can install that will limit the amount of time she can spend on it, like 2 hours per day for example? Thanks.
 

Hi
I am using Tor Browser Bundle. I visit a website which takes some time to get data and respond back. But Polipo cuts the connection and says Proxy error: 502. I want to increase timeout limit so it may wait for 3 to 4 minutes for the server to respond back.
Any ideas?

When i try to wake my phone up, it shows "resuming" for two or three seconds and then displays the lock screen. Is anyone else facing this issue ? Is there any solution to this problem ?

My friends dv7-1135nr is not posting. The num lock and caps lock led light will flash once every 2 seconds at the same time. According to HP this issue is a " not functional" cpu. I am ordering another cpu for 16.00 off ebay because this is cheaper opposed to ordering another board. Anyone else have this issue? And if so did you fix it ?
 

I may have never noticed this in Windows 10 but after the 1607 anniversary update was released I noticed that Mail notifications that turned on the Action Center Icon and the Email subject and sender information in the action center, over time, would disappear without any intervention on my part. To be clear an email notification would arrive and the Action Center Icon would change to indicated that a notification was received and the details of that notification were listed in the action center but (A) I did not click on the action center icon (B) I did not open the built-in Mail application and (C) I did not open Outlook 2010. However, after being absent from my PC for a period of time, I noticed that the action center icon was no longer showing a notification and when I did finally open the action center there were no notifications there either. What I seem to remember was that prior to the 1607 anniversary update, if you clicked on the action center icon the icon would remove the notification highlighting but to actually remove the notifications themselves from the action center I had to either clear the individual notification or clear all notification or open Outlook 2010 and download my mail.
So, is this the behavior that others are seeing? If so, is there a way to control this so notifications simply don't disappear on their own?

Hello

I have recently moved house & have switched my ISP from Talktalk to BT Internet, as Talktalk told me that they wouldn't be able to give me a line for another 2 years or so since our new house was not on their property database.
I wish to have my email messages held on the ISP server deleted 20 days after they have been transferred to my PC, to limit the number that get transferred to my netbook when I am away on holiday. (i.e. Delete all those that have been read / dealt with on my main PC.)
This can be easily set on Talktalk, but for the life of me, I can't find an equivalent option on BT Internet. Does anyone know how to do it, or do all your messages have to be deleted on-by one on BT Internet?

Note: I have run the READ & RUN ME FIRST process. I will post those logs in my reply below.

I apologize for how sudden this post is. I have until Monday, 8pm or so (tomorrow after posting this), to try and clean up the infection(s) on a friend's laptop. I am visiting my hometown and will have to head back to where I am usually at for college tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd have to wait a whole month to look at anything again and they do not have enough patience or knowledge to really do what needs to be done to get it cleaned.

I have a friend who was recently given a hand-me-down laptop computer. I recently discovered from talking to her that the laptop has some sort of malware infection. This was first determined when she was telling me that all of the sudden that she could not access the internet. I've recently been trying to get the infection(s) removed but it appears to be pretty stubborn and also appears to have numerous malware infections.

She was originally depending upon iOBit Malware Fighter as something to protect from malware and scan/removal. I kept that program on here for Malware scans/removal in the future, but decided to disable the protection and go with AVG Antivirus Free for that, which seemed to be helpful in removing some of the malware infection(s).

Before I tried some quick scans with iOBit Malware Fighter, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and AVG Antivirus, I uninstalled a few things that appeared concerning after some quick Google se... Read more

Well, I have no idea what caused this but the tablet buttons (even the on/off button) the lights for caps lock and scroll lock as well as the automatic screen orientation change when I flip it to be a tablet have stopped working.Also the screen does not turn off anymore when the lid is closed. Reinstalled pretty much all of the drivers, no effect.Any ideas? Is this thing already broken?

I've tried searching through the forum but can't see anyone who has a similar issue.

I can access the lock screen settings and I can see all available apps and have set a detailed status app and a couple of less detailed ones. However, when I actually get to the lock screen after having set the apps to appear, there is nothing but the time and date and WiFi in bottom-right corner.

Could this be because I am logging in locally rather than using a MS account?

I have a Acer Aspire 7750G-9411 laptop. I recently had to reload my operating system. since then the "on-screen " icon for the cap's lock and number's lock does not show up. I made sure to download and install all of the drivers but have been able to restore this one frature. Thanks for any help you can give me. Cliff

Hi. I recently bought a new R5-417T laptop, and in the process of personalisation found no intuitive way to disable the caps-lock or num-lock notifications. (Windows 10 btw)  ^Notification in question^ How would I go about disabling this? I've tried looking in the BIOS, in regedit and some mythical "Launch Manager" program bundled with older acer laptops that I can't find a working version for.
