Windows 10: How to set up a shortcut to toggle on/off the display panel?

My old laptop Asus K53SD has a very interesting shortcut. When I press Fn + F7, it turns off the display but the computer keeps running i.e. it won't log out, lock, shut down or go to sleep mode. I can press any keyboard/mouse key or move the mouse around but the screen remains off. Only when I press Fn + F7 again will the display turn back on. Description from the manual:

Is it possible to simulate this behavior in other computers? I want to set up a keyboard shortcut that will turn off the display but everything will keep running in the background and I want it so that only the shortcut can turn the display back on. Some software I found enables me to use shortcuts to turn off the display but moving the mouse or pressing any mouse/keyboard key will turn the screen back on.

Bluetooth toggle shortcut?


Also looking for this, there really should be an option to toggle it in the menu when right clicking the bluetooth icon in the task bar. I found this but haven't tried it yet.

Bluetooth toggle shortcut

You might see if this below may work for you then. It's basically to create a .bat file that will stop and start the Bluetooth service, and create a shortcut of the .bat file to use that you can also assign a keyboard shortcut to.
