Linux-hating Windoze concern trolls, listen up:
 
In alt.comp.os.windows-11, go read the threads on "SleepStudy" and
"Task Scheduler is not working in the latest Windows 11 24H2 patch".
See what Microsoft is doing to those poor folks who rely on their
computers to behave themselves.
 
(Hats-off to the venerable Paul, who is ubiquitous with his assistance
for those folks.  But even he reports his screensaver keeps resetting
to 10 minutes from his preferred 2 hours.)
 
It's almost as if Microsoft has decided its customers are now
its beta-testers.  Have fun with that!

Oh no! The latest version of Windows has trouble with one specific thing
which is likely to be fixed in the next update. Maybe Microsoft will do
the right thing and borrow from Linux which _still_ can't get computers
to wake from suspend a few decades after the problems were first
reported. They too want to have a year of the Windows desktop.

Apparently SOME Linux computers don't wake from suspend (not an issue for
me). And it would irritate me if the screensaver kept starting when I didn't
want it to. Watching movies would be a pain in the butt in that case.
(Chromebooks, for a while, did that.)

But the biggest issue is how Windows handles updates. Linux would probably
already be releasing updates for this. With Windows you have to wait until
"the next update." And you also ignore the fact Microsoft basically uses their
customers for beta testers — like, somehow, that's okay.
