    This is fairly new behavior. I had changed power options to turn off the screen from 2 hours down to 1 hour when this began. What have I done wrong?

    I only use the laptop plugged in so I didn't change the battery part of the power option.

  3. Turning Off ScreenWindows 10 on Dell Inspiron 14Z laptop. I set the screen to go off after 1 minute when plugged in. It never goes off.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Answers to your questions:

    All computers are running W10.

    1.) Turning off the screen on my wife's Dell Inspiron 1525 after 15 minutes works perfectly. My Dell desktop XPS 400 and my Dell Inspiron 14z have never worked at all.

    2.) Yes, I have tried 10 and 15 minutes on my desktop and my laptop. Neither has ever worked to turn off the screen.

    3.) a week ago I set my wife's laptop to turn the screen off after 15 minutes; works great. I first tried setting both my desktop and my laptop to turn the screen off 2 days ago. Neither has ever worked.

    Current Power & Sleep Settings:

    My Dell XPS 400 desktop: Turn screen off = 15 minutes; Go to sleep = Never

    My Dell Inspiron 14z = On battery turn screen off = 5 minutes; Go to sleep = 5 minutes. (It's always plugged in.)

    My Dell Inspiron 14z = Plugged in turn screen off = 15 minutes; Go to sleep = Never.

    Hope that helps.

    My laptop turns off the screen in 2 - 3 minutes.

    Look at the drop-down menus in the advanced settings to the left

    What power plan are you using, High Performance, Balanced? Look in the power plan profile to change the advanced power settings. You will find settings for display, adapter, etc., if it says 3 minutes change it by clicking on it and using up or down arrows.

    Putting my power plan to balanced seems to have resolved my problem.
