Windows 10: Monitor not going to sleep after powering up the computer

Hello everyone.


Quite often I start my computer at work remotely using the WakeOnLan functionality.

After such start, the login screen appears and the monitor is turned on.

Until I log in to windows, the monitor will not go to sleep and it remains constantly on.

Is there any way to change that? I would like to reduce my energy consumption.

:)

Monitors go into auto power save mode and wont wake up

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no idea why the computer monitors go into power saving mode. The computer doesn't. I can be browsing the internet (or even playing CandyCrush haha) more or less right after booting up and the monitors go to sleep. I
can not wake them up. I have to turn the PC off and back on again. Not so good if I am doing some work.

Making any changes as you suggest above don't seem to do anything, there is only the mouse, keyboard and "NVIDIA nForce networking controller" listed.
