Garinas,
Do you need more help regarding this?
YES
Tell Microsoft to give uses the option of increasing the time allowed temporarily whilst I am uploading 200GB of Data!
Doesn't the Personal Vault stay open as long as Windows thinks there is activity going on?
I use a program called "Free Mouse Auto Clicker" to make Windows think I am still active in a window. It makes a mouse click at any time interval I select. I let it run all night if need be.

You may just want to use 2-Step verification on your Microsoft account instead.

Sorry, but you cannot increase the time for vault as this is by design.

Personal Vault automatically locks after a period of inactivity (20 minutes on the web, 3 minutes on a mobile app) and then you need to unlock it to get at your files again. All your documents, photos, and videos in Personal Vault are easy to access from onedrive.com, your PC, or other capable devices.
