    Power saving odd issue


    The issue, I have this system monitor to shut off in 10 minutes. but than the monitor pops back on with no one near it and stays on 10 minutes than goes off again. I though a virus, malware and I ran software for to scan for both. Noting is detected. I use windows security and Malwwarebytes paid protection. I cant not find a cause as yet? Thanks Dave

    :)

  2. power issue

    Hello,

    Most of the time, this issue is caused by external devices that are possibly keeping the PC active which then results in the screen/display not turning off even after you've set the power settings. Try disconnecting any external devices, usually gaming devices,
    and check if the issue persists.

    We also suggest running the Power troubleshooter to automatically troubleshoot any power issue. Just follow the steps below:

    • Click on Search/Cortana, and then type Troubleshooting.
    • Click on Troubleshooting.
    • Click on System and Security.
    • Click on Power.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.

    Windows 10 power issue

    Hi Adithyaram,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

    I suggest you to follow the steps bellow and check if it helps

    Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Power troubleshooter


    Method 2: I suggest you to update drivers and check if that helps. If that issue persist please uninstall and reinstall latest drivers available in manufacturer website. Both Display
    driver and Audio drivers.

    • Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
    • Select Display Adapter and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.
    • Follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

    Odd power-on issue

    So I've got this computer that has an odd issue powering up. If I just touch the power button like normal, the lights come on and the fans spin up, but I get no video, and I have to hit the switch on the power strip to get it to go off. It seems like if I hold the power button in for a few seconds, it will come on normally. I can't possibly imagine what would be causing this. I would guess it's a motherboard issue, but I don't know anything that would cause anything like this. It's very odd, you'd think either it would work or it wouldn't... so, what do you all make of it?
