Windows 10: Powerplan - monitor goes to sleep earlier than set in Power and Sleep

Within Windows 10 x64 on my laptop, I have set the display to turn off after 20 minutes (on battery).
Still it turns off after a few minutes only.

Does anyone out there have a suggestion where I might need to look to have this fixed..?

Thanks!

My monitor goes to sleep

How do I prevent my monitor from going to Sleep , Running Windows 10. All my setting on my monitor and computer are set "To Never Sleep. I will be using my computer and it will randomly go to sleep, and I can not wake it up. I end up having to power it down
then back up to use my computer. My computer will still Keep running , but my monitor goes to sleep. If I am online and playing game some times it will go to sleep 5 or 6 times in a hour, and some times it will not go to sleep for several hours.

I have a Dell with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9650 @ 3.00GHz

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Using 2nd Monitor with Laptop and Goes Into Sleep Mode

Hi Charlie,

If your second monitor goes in to Sleep mode after connecting it to your laptop, it could be that some settings of the Power Options in Windows 10 are incorrectly configured. We recommend that you restore all power settings to default and see if the second
monitor still goes to Sleep after connecting it. Here's how to restore the power settings to default:

• Press the Windows logo key + I to open the
  Settings app.
• From Settings, select System > Power & sleep, then select
  Additional power settings.
• From the Power Options dialog box, select Choose when to turn off the display, then select
  Restore default settings for this plan.

After setting it to default, observe if the issue persists. If it does, kindly connect the second monitor to another computer and see the problem is observed. Also, kindly use a different HDMI cable to rule out the possibility of a faulty cable.

We look forward to an update from you.
