Windows 10: Monitors Standby Timeout Limited to 30minutes or less.

The issue I have is my Monitor Standby period is limited to 30mins max. If I set it to a higher timeout period it will just keep running my screensaver perpetually....monitors do not enter standby. Any timeout for standby 30minutes or less and this issue is not present. Monitors will enter standby ok when they should.


My system specs are:

Computer type: PC/Desktop
System Manufacturer/Model Number: MSI
OS: Windows10-64bit, Version 2004...OS build 19041.630
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core AM4 Processor
Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION MOBO
Memory: G.Skill RAM, F4-3600C16D-32GTZR, 32GB
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Duke OC 11GB
Monitors are: Samsung 32inch Odyssey G7 & Dell UltraSharp U2713H 27 Inch
Browser: Google Chrome
Antivirus: Kaspersky AV

Thanks

Monitors don't turn on after lock screen timeout

I have an ASUS M32 desktop (not all in one, specs below) with a dual monitor setup. I just bought the computer 2 days ago and it came with Windows 8.1. I decided to switch to Windows 10 so I did the update via download and install (meaning I did not create
disks). Since the update when the monitors go into standby (not the PC itself) after I lock the PC and the timeout kicks in, I can wake the monitors but all I see is a blank grey screen. No matter how many buttons I press I cannot get the monitors to show
anything. I have updated all drivers and I can't figure why this would happen because it doesn't when waking up from the PC in standby mode. I know most are going to say disable the monitors from going into standby but I shouldn't have to do that with a brand
new computer. Any suggestions?
