Here’s a handy way to extend that time using a simple procedure:

  1. Create a new text document.
  2. Write CMD and save it as bat, which is a batch file
  3. Find the batch (.bat) file and run it. If you’ve done it correctly, you’ll see that CMD (Command Prompt) will open.
  4. Write in the CMD: cd\windows to change the directory to WINDOWS
  5. Type regedit and regedit editor should open
  6. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>AppEvents>Software>Classes>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Internet Settings>Policies>System
  7. Right click on the right pane where it says Disable Task manager
  8. Scroll down to modify, then change the value of it to 0.
  9. Open the Task manager by pressing the keys “CTRL+SHIFT+ESC
  10. Find the entry for the Internet Cafe’s timer. It is usually named after the Cyber Cafe timer on your computer
