  1. Shortcut to turn off screen


    I just got a new Lenovo yoga
    I need a way to make the screen turn off on demand, preferably with a shortcut or icon on the task bar or action center, that will just simply turn the display off without interrupting what the PC is doing. So it dosent turn off sound or sends it to sleep. It won't automatically turn the screen off of a video is playing.

    I go to sleep listening to video podcasts and I'd like to be able to shut off the screen when it's next to my bed.

    Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

    Thanks.
