Setting time to activate screensaver

How do I increase the time of inactivity required to activate the Marine Aquarium 3 screensaver?

If you are using Windows, type 'screensaver' in the Search box on the lower left of your screen, then choose 'Change Screensaver'. This will bring up the Screensaver control where you can set the Wait time to anything you want.

I had SS set in windows to come on after 60 minutes. I noticed that it never activated even after the computer set idle all night long. Trying to figure out what happened I did a series of sets:

10 Min ---- Activates
15 Min ---- Activates
25 Min ---- Activates
30 Min ---- Activates
35 Min ---- DOES NOT ACTIVATE
45 Min ---- DOES NOT ACTIVATE
and we know about 60 minutes.

Why can't I set an activation period in Windows 10 Home for greater than 30 minutes?

Thanks
