I just installed Windows 8, and I notice that when I lock my computer, after just one minute the display will shut off. I've been through all the power settings, and there's nothing there that's set at just one minute.
I found a few threads about people reporting the similar issues, but there seem to be no fixes yet:
Any thoughts on how this can be altered? It's a spiffy lock screen that contains my next appointment and other notifications, and I'd love it to just stay on for awhile.

You can add the dword registry value
Attributes
underand set it to 2 to add
Console Lock Display Timeout
to Advanced Power Options under display. Now all you have to do is go to Advanced Power Options and change the setting. I set mine to 0 so it never times out.Source: This tutorial.
