Windows 10: Monitor Will Not Switch Off...

Hey guys, I'm running Windows 10 Pro and I've set my monitor to turn off after 10minutes in "Power saving" but it doesn't turn off. It stays on all night...

Anyone know what I can do?

Thanks!

:)

 

Change desktops independently on different monitors

I've got a setup with 2 monitors and I use multiple desktops, when I switch desktops on one monitor it also switches desktops on the other monitor, is it possible to switch this off. Making it that when you switch desktops on one screen the other doesn't
change?

 

my windows 10 screen keeps saying "auto adjust" how can I stop it?

Hi Harsha,

When do you get this prompt? Because it only occurs if the monitor has been switched off and it turns on the monitor, it auto adjusts accordingly to the screen resolution that was set. Please switch off and check what happens.

 

What monitor and GPU are you using?

I would first try reinstalling the drivers for your GPU and monitor (if it has any).

 

Thanks, but I already tried re-installing the Nvidia drivers a few times.

Is there something else I can try?

 

I've noticed that the monitor will now sometimes turn off and sometimes stay on...

Is there a way to tell Windows 10 to turn off the monitor when I "Lock" the PC?

 

Please let me know if anyone has an idea of what I can try?

 

- what's the Make and Model No. of the monitor - there may be a clue online..??*Wink

 

The monitor is a Dell ST2220L.

Is there a way I can tell the monitor to dim itself after a set time? I'm afraid I'm damaging the monitor by it being turned on 24/7... *Sad

 

I just tried something different: I went into "Power Options" and set the Display to turn off after 3 minutes.

I then "Locked" Windows 10 and went outside for 10 minutes, but the Display was still turned on when I came back...

I hope someone can help me. *Sad

 

I'm not aware of any PC monitors which can be dimmed like a laptop display. Can you try connecting your monitor to another PC to see if the monitor will enter standby on a different PC? This will tell you if you have a problem with the PC or monitor.

Also, try resetting the monitor to factory defaults and run the Power Troubleshooter at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.

 

Thanks for your reply!

I just had to install a Windows 10 Update and after rebooting it now seems that the monitor turns off by itself so I think the problem is solved!

 

Okay, I just "locked" my Windows 10 PC and after waiting for 10minutes the screen is still on. I don't know why this is happening, but it really sucks... *cry

 

Hello NiceAndShy, *Smile

In addition, check to see what you have your "console lock display off timeout" set as to see if that may help while you have the computer locked.

For now, the context menu can help make it easy to turn off the display until you get it fixed to do so automatically.
