    Monitors will not turn off/Screen saver won;t activate


    Hi guys. I have been trying to get my monitors to shut off so I don't get a burn in on my screens. I can't seem to figure out what is causing them to stay on. I tried enabling a screen saver which won't turn on and I also tried making a keyboard shortcut to turn off the monitor with a cmd command. Whenever I use the shortcut the monitors go down for a second and then pop right back on. I read somewhere it could be my mouse or keyboard causing it to stay awake, but I don;t think this is the problem seeing as it was fine on windows 7. Can anybody help me out?


    Thanks!

    :)

    windows 10 screen saver doesn't work

    Disabling the whiteboard under HID solved the problem. Thanks for the solution. From my view point, I think it is somehow associated with a touch screen monitor. Now I have a HP touch screen monitor and the screen saver would come on if the monitor
    was turned off. The screen saver would continue to work after turning it back on until a key was depressed or the mouse was moved. I'm pretty sure the screen saver would work if the USB cable for the touch screen monitor was disconnected. I have a HP laptop
    with touch screen monitor with Windows 10 and the screen saver works just fine on it.

    Monitors will not turn off/Screen saver won;t activate

    Since going to Win 10 I have the same problem and have traced it back to my game controllers which are plugged into a USB hub. When I unplug the hub from the computer the screen saver and screen off works fine. Good luck.
