  1. How can I make W11 turn off screen instantly when pressing Windows key + L?


    Hi,With W10 the screen turned off instantly when pressing Windows key + L, the computer locked and the screen went all black that very moment.With W11, though, when I lock the computer the screen stays on for about 1 minute. I really don't like that, and I would like to make it behave like W10 did. Tried to google for a solution, found none. But I did find others having the same problem and people saying that W11 connects the idle display turn off setting with lock screen display turn off behavior.Any workaround for this?, please.Thanks.

    :)

    how to lock screen instantly without pressing Window-L keyboard?


    Hi, I sometimes connect to my Windows 10 PC at my work place from home.
    When I was using Windows-7(work place PC), I was able to select the menu button (lower-left) and select 'Lock Screen' menu from the shutdown sub-menu. I recently received a new desktop PC which is Windows-10, but I found Windowns 10 doesn't have such 'lock-screen' menu that I can choose with my mouse. So the only way I can lock the screen is using Window-L button which is ok when I'm at work. But when I'm remotely logged in from my home, if I press Window-L keys, my home notebook is screen locked, not my work place Desktop.
    How do I solve this? many thanks in advance.

  3. 2nd external screen on Dell Latitude E7450 goes off when locking pressing Windows key and L

    Hi Dave,



    We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused.



    I would suggest you to follow these steps and try to run the Power troubleshooter:

    • Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
    • Click on Control panel.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel
      search
      box.
    • Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
    • Click on Power troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.


    I would suggest you try changing the power plans and see if it helps. To select the power plans:

    • Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
    • Click on Power Options.
    • Change the settings as per your requirement.


    Try to set the computer not to sleep and hibernate and see it works.



    Let us know the results.
