These days, they are mostly used to personalize the PC or improve its security with additional password protection.<\/p>\n<p>A screen saver can provide additional protection from unauthorized access if you leave your device unattended at work or in some other place. If your user account has a password, you might want to enable and configure the screen saver to lock your user session automatically once you leave your PC. When you return, you can dismiss the screen saver and enter your credentials to gain access to your user session.<\/p>\n<h3>Here is How to Enable Screen Saver Password Protection in Windows 10:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"w10steps\">\n<ul>\n<li>STEP 1: Open Settings.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 2: Go to Personalization &#8211; Lock screen.\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/windows-10-lock-screen.png\" alt=\"windows-10-lock-screen\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>STEP 3: On the right side, scroll down until you see the link <b><i>Screen saver settings<\/i><\/b>.
