    Monitor not following sleep settings


    I have my monitor set to sleep after 10 minutes but it goes to sleep after only 5 mins. Why won't it follow the sleep settings? I have also tried 20 minutes without luck. All Win 10 updates are current.

    :)

    2nd Monitor won't wake up in dual monitor Windows 10 setup

    I figured out it was a setting called "Monitor Deep Sleep," in the settings of the monitor it's self.

    1- Go to the monitors setting with the buttons on the monitor.

    2- Go to display setting.

    3- Scroll down to the other options.

    4- Disable the deep sleep mode.

    Good luck mate!

  3. Display won't turn off after specified time

    Thanks for your response.

    The desktop application that I using is Video Converter Ultimate by Wondershare.

    While I have the monitor set to go to sleep after an hour. Last night I set it to one minute but didn't go to sleep as this morning monitor was still on without changing sleep settings.

    I understand media players when playing video media monitor won't go to sleep.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    Monitor not following sleep settings

    It is because something is causing the IRQ that controls the monitor sleep and wake states. It can be woke up by any process that could be mouse, keyboard, etc.. Also check your monitor settings on it to make sure that it is set properly. If you have a wireless mouse or have one that is very sensitive to motion, it could be just your mouse causing it.
