Windows 10: Monitors going to sleep even set to never sleep

I've set my monitors to never sleep yet they do so on an irregular basis. They can go weeks w/o sleeping yet today they went to sleep twice in less than a 1/2 hour. I just double checked my settings and they are still set to never sleep. I did just start using Helios Display Management to switch from triple screen to 3 individual screens as the Nvidia method is super cludgy.

Any ideas on what I might have set wrong or how to address this issue? I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

Monitors won't go to sleep... Why?

So I tried the "nircmd.exe monitor off" command it did indeed work so we know it can go to sleep but it's still not putting the monitors to sleep automatically as per the Power Profile Settings.
