    Screensaver won’t start / monitor won’t sleep / system won’t sleep


    I’ve recently built a PC and it’s running the latest version of Windows 10. Everything was working great for the last month and then a couple of days ago I noticed the screensaver wasn’t starting and the monitors wouldn’t go to sleep later, and to top it off the system wouldn’t sleep either. If I sleep the monitors or system manually it works fine.

    I have two monitors connected to the system. One is using display port and one is using HDMI. I noticed just before this that the monitors were not extending the desktop. If I went to display settings and chose “extend display” nothing would happen. Eventually I started using Windows+P to extend the display and then switch back whenever I’d start a game that didn’t support multiple displays.

    Now what happens is if I have the displays extended that display 1 (the one using display port) will follow the power rules, but the screensaver won’t start. Display 2 doesn’t do anything except blank the screen even if a screensaver is chosen.

    Display 2 is set as primary. Display 1 is set as secondary. Both monitors are the same. I’ve tried resetting power settings and all the general stuff you find with Google.

    Can anyone suggest anything?
