    My screen saver won't turn on and my monitor won't turn off


    Hi. This used to work on this computer. Now I notice it doesn't.

    Windows 10 running on a laptop. All cords are unplugged except for power cord.

    Monitor is set in settings to turn off after 3 minutes currently. With screen saver set to turn on after 2 minutes.

    Neither will work. I have also tried turning screen saver off. Monitor still doesn't turn off.


    Help??

    :)

    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!
