Back in the day, pausing a full-screen game for a snack let me linger for hours. Now, after a few minutes, the window treats it like a desktop and switches to lock screen. We need to find a way to fix this.

The simplest way is to turn off the lock screen. You can right-click on desktop/Personalise/Lock Screen, extend the timer, or disable it entirely. Setting specific apps as exceptions might be more complicated, requiring changes for each game.

Of course. The timer is set for the desktop, so it shouldn't be an issue when playing a full screen game—it wasn't before.

Of course, you figure it out on your own.

Sorry, your response seemed to be: - Doctor, my shoulder hurts when I touch it. Then don't touch it. I'm seeking a setting we can adjust to prioritize full-screen games, as they used to be before. Obviously, the lock screen remains active for a reason, but I need it to function outside of gaming sessions.
