    Monitors will not time out after 2004


    I recently forced the 2004 update on my gaming desktop (Windows 10 Pro 64bit).
    After doing so I have noticed that my monitors (2 of them) will no longer turn off after a set amount of inactivity. Previously they were set to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity. All systems said that they should turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity, but they do not. Seriously, I can go watch a Star Wars movie and when I come back to my computer they are still on.

    Power & Sleep Settings is set to turn them off after 10 minutes.
    Power Settings: Balanced Plan is set to turn them off after 10 minutes.
    Balanced Plan's advanced settings: Display is set to turn them off after 10 minutes.

    These settings were not synchronized, because I was messing with them. I have now synchronized them. However, that did not solve the problem. Resetting the power plan, or changing the power plan to a different plan did not fix the problem either.
    Then I thought maybe it was a screen saver issue, so I activated a blank screen saver to come on after 10 minutes of inactivity. That doesn't work either.
    I have tried all of the suggestions on this FAQ: Fixed: Windows 10 Screensaver Not Working | SoftwareKeep.
    That also did not work.
    Please Help.
    Thanks for your time and effort in advance.

    :)
