    How shut off screen while programs run in background?


    Folks,

    I've got a new build. I use it to run a security camera program, Blue Iris.

    It runs Blue Iris 24/7. What I'd like is for the screen to go blank 30 minutes after the last mouse or keyboard input.

    How do I do this?

    Setting power plan does not work, since the computer is not "idle" for any length of time. Where and how would I get the screen to go off in this situation?

    Thanks,
    Ken

    :)

  3. How do I find programs running in the background after shut down

    Hi Charmaine,





    When a laptop or a computer is totally shut down, there should be no program running in the background. There is a possibility that the issue you’re experiencing is hardware related. To further isolate your concern, kindly answer the following:



    • Can you provide us the make and model of your laptop?

    Background applications

    Hi Robert,

    We understand that you don't want some apps to run on the background of your computer. What we suggest is to
    control which apps are allowed to run in the background. To see which apps have permission, just follow the below steps:

    • Open the Start menu or Start screen and select “Settings.”
    • Click or tap the “Privacy” icon in the Settings.
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select “Background apps.”
    • You’ll see a list of apps that have permission to run in the background with an “On/Off” toggle.
    Just bear in mind that, apps normally run in the background to update their live tiles, download new data, and receive notifications. If you want an app to continue performing these functions, you should allow it to continue running in
    the background.

    Feel free to update us with the results.
