Windows 10 time out

Apr 29, 2016 7:55AM PDT

I have my Lenovo laptop set to never time out with windows 10 but it still times out after approximately 10 minutes. It never did this when I had windows 7 installed.

What is this time out? Time till it powers down, shuts off the screen or something else?

These times are set in some control panel but it's unclear what "time out" is here.

I don't want my screen to turn off as I have Splashtop installed on my android and requires screen to stay on so I can access remotely. I have all the settings in the power option to never turn off but it still does. Worked fine with Win 7.
