How to disable Lock Screen on MacBook Air M1 with macOS Tahoe 26.1?

I have an Air with the M1 chip and using Tahoe 26.1. It has recently gone to Lock Screen after a few minutes. I do not want lock screen at all. I've gone to "Lock Screen' and set it to Never and Never. Still goes to lock screen after a few minutes. I am stumped. Please help an old guy out..:)

The Lock Screen setting controls display sleep and the password requirement. If you are talking about the screen saver, that is controlled in System Settings > Wallpaper > Screen Saver (button). Set that to Never.
