I notice that after about five minutes of idle time, the Welcome Screen is
re-displayed. Can I increase this timer?

Regards

I've tried increasing the wait time as you suggest. We'll see what happens.

I'd ignored that before because I'd swear this happens sooner than the
15mins default. But the "On resume, display Welcome screen" is what's
happening, so I must be wrong! We'll see. Anyway the "On resume.." is
equally useful, because by disabing that, I can restart directly in the
screen in which I was working, so thanks.

Try power options then - same options of displaying welcome screen.

Thanks for suggestion. Disabling "On resume, display Welcome screen" has
done the trick.
