Windows 10: If Automatic color management is turned on for Display 2, does that increase power usage...

Using an HP W2082a monitor as Display 2 on a Windows 11 laptop, to get the HP monitor to work correctly, I manually turned automatic color management hereinafter "ACM" on, each time I started Windows or took it out of sleep mode, and turned it off shortly after, since once the monitor is correct, it doesn't need ACM to remain so, and ACM increases power consumption. To avoid having to manually turn ACM on and off, I now leave ACM on when working at my desk, as I can plug it in there. Most days it never leaves my desk. With ACM turned on only for monitor 2, would it use more power only when t

Display Turn Off in Power Options Causing USB Disconnection

Hello everyone, I'm encountering a peculiar issue related to the Power Options settings on my Windows machine (Version 22H2). Whenever Windows automatically turns off my display, it seems to inadvertently cause the devices connected to my USB hub to disconnect. Here's a more detailed description of the problem:

1. Display Turn Off Issue: After Windows turns off the display, my USB-connected devices disconnect.
2. Wake-Up Login Requirement: When I wake up the monitor with a mouse movement, I'm prompted to log back into Windows, as if the system had entered seep mode or logged off.

Steps I've Taken So Far:

• Set Power Options to never enter sleep mode.
• Disabled hibernation and USB selective suspend.
• Restored default power settings using "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes".
• Imported power options from "Default_Power_Plans.zip" found on this forum.
• Analyzed settings with PowerSettingExplorer, but nothing unusual was noted.
• Checked the event log and Sleep Study report ("pwrcfg -systemsleepdiagnostics") for any signs of the machine being put to sleep, but found none.

Interestingly, this problem does not occur when I manually turn off the monitor. It only happens when Windows does it automatically. Also, this issue is not isolated to one machine; it's happening on several, which leads me to believe it's not a hardware issue. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to further diagnose and resolve this issue. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Power setting turns display off as set but then it turns right back on  

Verna,

But you did not look at that tutorial's list of related tutorials for all the other
Add or Remove ... from Power Options - TenForumsTutorials
ones. That's what I suggested. The link to that particular tutorial was just a way in to the set of them.



And you'll find even more of the set by searching the list of tutorials.
