### What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Extend possible UI Idle Timeout

### Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

From our point of view it’s not necessary out of Security reasons to limit the timeout to 60m. If someone forgets to lock his screen it will be locked after 10m by GPO policy automatically  
We think the companies should decice by themselves how long the timeout should be.

### How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Hello Florian,

thank you for posting to the community. The feature you are looking for is in System Settings =\> Global Settings =\> UI Idle Timeout Options

I have set my lab to use 60 minutes.

HTH,

Hi Kevin,

Florians problem is that it is only limited to 60 minutes max. He would like to increase that time out to lets say 4 or 8 hours. The screen timeout in Windows would prevent the unauthorized yes. So long question, is it possible that the end user is able to fill out ANY value instead of only being limited to 60 minutes.

Hi Nils - at this time 60-minutes is the maximum allowed value.
