Paused game goes into lock screen

[DSD27]

In the good old days, if I let a ful screen game paused and were for a snack, I could take hours, when I came back the game was there waiting. These days, after some minutes, windows ignores that it's a full screen game and goes into lock screen like if it was on the desktop. How can we change this?

The easiest option is to disable the lock screen. Right click desktop/Personalise/Lock Screen

 

You could extend the timer, or disable it completely. If you're trying to set specific applications as exceptions, I'm not sure that's as easy, and you would have to do it for each game, I think.

Obviously. But the timer is there for the desktop, it shouldn't matter when running a full screen game, it didn't bfore.

Obviously? How the hell do we know your level of knowledge?

 

Obviously, you can work it out for yourself.

Sorry but your solution was like:

- Doctor, my shoulder hurts when I touch it.

- Then don't touch it.

 

I'm looking for some setting we can change to give "priority" to full screen games, as it used to be before. But obviously keeping the lock screen enabled, it's there for a reason, I want it to work when not gaming.
