    How to see what wakes up the screen while screen is off


    When my Windows 10 computer is locked, it turns off the display after some minutes. However, it regularly happens at random times that the screen wakes up suddenly, then turns off again after a minute or so. How can I see what made it wake up the screen?Additional info: it is not about the computer sleeping, but about being in the "screen off" state.

    :)
     

  2. Laptop with broken screen How much?

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

  3. Screens black after waking machine from sleep

    Hi Anthony,

    Does it only happen when waking up the computer from sleep?

    To check for possible causes of this issue, we suggest you to run Power Troubleshooter. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Troubleshooting.
    • On the left side, click View all.
    • Click Power.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.
    If the issue still persists, you may update the Chipset driver from the device manufacturer.

    Let us know how it goes.
