How can I make Windows screen timeout settings permanent?

My Windows 10 screen timeout settings are always:

Screen:

On battery power turn off after 5 minutes.

When plugged in, turn off after 10 minutes.

Sleep:

On battery power, PC goes to sleep after Never.

When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after Never.

I keep setting these to 30 minutes/60 minutes/60 minutes/2 hours, but they don’t save. They stay for around an hour and then reset. How can I make these settings permanent?

Answer

There’s most likely some power management software which is struggling for this setting. Laptops often have this. A search for “power” in Start should reveal it.

You can either uninstall the software or attempt to set your desired settings from within the program.
