3.) Why should I adjust the display duration for the Windows 11 lock screen?

Adjusting the Windows 11 lock screen display time is a personal preference and depends on your individual needs and preferences. There are a few reasons why you might want to adjust the lock screen duration:

Time saving: If you view the lock screen as a purely decorative element and want to get to the login screen quickly, you can shorten the display time to save time.

Privacy: A longer screen lock can help protect your screen contents from prying eyes when you leave your computer for a short time. However, for privacy reasons, a shorter lock screen may be preferred, especially in environments where multiple people have access to your computer.

Ease of Use: For users who want to quickly access their desktop or login page, a shorter lock screen can speed up the process.

Aesthetics: A longer lock screen can give you more time to enjoy the wallpaper or lock screen display if that's what you value.

Adjusting the lock screen duration in Windows 11 is relatively easy. Here's how you can do it:

Open Windows Settings by clicking the Windows icon (Start menu) and then the gear icon (Settings).

Go to “Personalization” in Windows Settings.

Select “Lock Screen” from the left menu.

Scroll down to find the “Lock screen display time” option. You can choose the display duration that best suits your needs, for example "1 minute", "3 minutes" or "5 minutes", or you can set it to "Off" to completely disable the lock screen.

By adjusting the lock screen duration, you can better tailor Windows 11 to your personal preferences and usage patterns.
