Windows 10: Updated my pc last night and now my displays turn off every 5 seconds

Very confusing. Did the update last night 12/26/24 and now my pc wont load into windows. It tries but keeps resetting and retrying

:)

 

Display does not turn off when pc is idle

Just did all the suggestions. Did not work. Display does not turn off.

This issue was from the beginning when I downloaded Win 10. I had Win 8.1 and the display always turned off as I set it.

My pc is HP Pavilion Touchsmart 23 all-in-one. According to "checking for updated drivers on display and monitors", I always get the response that the drivers currently installed are the correct ones.

 

Second monitor not turning on at system boot since update

I have a 2 monitor setup.
This has worked fine for years.

However now windows pulled yet another update and now I have a problem.

The second monitor does not turn on when I start up the PC.
It is however still ermm "there", I can move/lose my mouse cursor on the second screen.

To fix it I have to go into the videocard control panel or just display settings in Windows and set it to anything other then "extend" and then just revert changes and the second screen will turn on.

However it is obviously rather annoying to have to do that every time I start up the pc or wake it from hibernation.

So any suggestions? anything I can delete or reset or reinstall?
I did try a complete clean reinstall of the videocard (AMD HD4000 series) drivers but that did not change anything.

 

My Laptop turns off after 5 seconds....

Hi Norelle, can you please try the following steps for me:

• Remove the battery
• Disconnect the Power lead
• Press and hold the Power Button for 30 seconds
• Connect the Power lead
• Re-insert the Battery
• Turn your System on
