Windows 11 lets you set a screensaver that runs automatically after a specified time when your PC is idle. There are several ways to configure the screen saver on your Windows computer. Screensavers provide an additional option to protect our PC from unwanted use by others. If you don't use your PC for a while, the screensaver will run automatically and start protecting your computer from unauthorized access. Once you click the mouse or press a key on the keyboard, Windows will ask you to log in if the password option is enabled.
In older CRT monitors, a screensaver was used to prevent burnout of the monitors' display. As technology has developed in monitors, burnout is no longer an issue. Now screensavers are used to display beautiful images or GIF animations when the PC is not in use.
This Gearupwindows article will guide you to protect your PC by setting a password on the screen saver on your Windows 11 PC.
