iOS10 Problem - Can not edit a contact found using spotlight search

iOS10 Problem
Not sure if there is an specific option set up for that but I have noticed that I can not edit a contact found using spotlight search as I used to do prior to upgrade to iOS 10.

Before, when clicking on the contact, after search, I would be on the actual contact app and could then edit as needed. Now I can only see the contact and start a call or message or video, or mail or share but not Edit the actual record!

To me this is a pain, since it forces me to go back to contact app, search for the contact again before making any changes to it.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10

I wish I had an answer to this question but I don't. I have posted this to Apple forum here;

and will let you know when / if I get a solution.

How to solve: Windows 10’s lock screen time is too short!

By default Windows 10's lock screen times out in 1 minute, what I consider extremelly short specially when plugged in!

As this was too short for me, I tried to change it by modifying the power options but I had not luck, I could not find the appropriate settings for that.

I am glad I found out why and how here.

It seems very odd to me but lock screen time setup is not accessible by default so you will need to use regedit to enable access to this setup. Quite odd but true and if you do it works!

So, now, thanks to How to Geek solution I managed to set my lock screen to whatever fits my preference!
