Windows 10: Screen does not always turn off according to Power & sleep settings

DESCRIPTION

Please advise, I am trying to solve this puzzle.. Basically screen wont always turn off according to the settings set in Power & sleep. Sleep, on the other hand, works.
Sometimes monitor will turn off correctly after a set time, say if I set a minute or two just to test then it works. But 15 minutes never work. Sometimes if I change additional power settings back and forth it starts to work, but only until next restart.
I can't find a solution nor cause of this problem. Windows 7 power settings worked correctly.

SYSTEM INFO

Windows 10 is cleanly installed on HDD in UEFI mode and I am using/testing it only for a few days yet. Slow ring updates. No additional USB devices are connected except keyboard and mouse. PC is quite new, Skylake based (i5 6600, Asus Z170M-PLUS, R9 390).

THINGS I HAVE TRIED AND RESULTS

• Clean boot and Safe mode - same.
• Updating BIOS - same.
• Disabling USB selective suspend - same.
• Booting without mouse - same.
• Testing for wake armed devices with powercfg and disabling LAN adapter wake - same.
• Using USB 3 instead of USB 2 to connect mouse & keyboard - nothing.

"Some" results:

• Generating powercfg /energy report. Report shows error "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend". Windows 7 did not show such error (hardware switch dual boot, easy to compare).
• Disconnecting and reconnecting mouse while system is on - display turns off correctly after, but only until next restart..
• Switching Power plans back and forth - again, starts to work, until next restart.

I would like my computer to get locked after 5 minutes of no use. Surprisingly I can't find out how to set it.

It turns off the screen, but does not lock the computer.

So for example, if the screen is set to turn off after 5 min, and the computer is set to sleep after 10 minutes, after 6 minutes you can continue using the laptop without having to log in.

 

Inactivity timeout

Type Power & Sleep in Windows Start Search box (Cortana)

Click Power & Sleep Settings

Here, you can set the timing turning off your screen

 

Any ideas what I should try next?
I would like to move to W10 (due to DX12 etc.), but a few small quirks like this bug me for some reason *Biggrin

 

Windows 10 update 1607 (Anniversary) fixed this issue! *Smile
