Hi all,

I have just upgraded one of my laptops to W10 from 7.

What I want to do is pretty simple really but I can't figure out how to do it - can anyone help please ?

I want to be able to press Windows-L to lock the machine. I then want it to either go immediately to a screensaver (and show logon screen on resume) OR go to logon screen (or whatever) for x minutes and THEN go to a screensaver.

Here's why, I quite often just lock this laptop (as it's doing stuff in the background) and leave it all day. I don't want anyone to be able to access it without my password BUT I also don't want any image retention on the screen - hence the screensaver.

For example, here is how I had it setup in Win 7 (and would like the same if it's possible) :

I press Windows+L to lock the machine and it goes to the login prompt asking for my password. After 5 minutes, the "Ribbons" screensaver comes on. If I move the mouse or press a key then the screensaver dissapears and the logon screen is shown again.
