In the new window, you can choose your screensaver, as well as change how long it takes to appear and whether it should go to the login screen on resumption. To do so, right-click your desktop, then click “Personalize -> Lock screen -> Screen saver settings” (at the bottom). Before we start, you should know the basics of setting your Windows screensaver.
