    A program prevents "Turn off the display" after x minutes


    Hello Community,


    On my Surface Go with Windows 10 Home, a program Siemens - WinCC Runtime is preventing that the display is turned of after a few minutes. How can I prevent that a program can overrule the Windows setting to turn off the display? --> even if the program is running, the screen should be switched of after a few minutes.

    :)

    Turn off the display: 5 minutes; still on 30 minutes later.

    Let's start with the obvious, did you click 'Save changes'?

    A program prevents "Turn off the display" after x minutes

    Turn off the display: 5 minutes; still on 30 minutes later.

    I created my own Power plan, and set "Turn off display:" to 5 minutes.
    I went away for half an hour, and when I came back, the display is still on.

    Any suggestions why this is not working?
