Windows 10: When closing laptop screen Windows goes to power saver mode even if this is turned off in...

My Acer laptop with Windows 10 64 bit home, is going to power saving mode when I closing the laptop screen.

In the advanced power saving menu, defining what will happen when computer screen is folded down, I have selected "Do nothing" on all items.


I am using a KVM switch between laptop and monitor brand LG.

The problem started when I changed monitor, besides that I am using the same KVM switch, computer and HDMI cables.


Any clue what to do here?

If bypass KVM switch and route HDMI cable directly between monitor and computer, it is working. But I need the KVM switch.

Please any ideas ?

PC hibernates / goes into sleep mode upon logout / screen lock

I am using my work computer. It's a laptop with a power connection (not running on battery.) The laptop is hocked up to two monitors (a total of three monitors, counting the laptop's own screen - I usually keep my laptop closed, however.)
Since I am at work I always lock the screen when I leave my computer. (I use the windows+L shortcut to lock the screen.) This all works fine.

However, after about a minute the computer goes into sleep mode / hibernation. At least I think it does, because the two monitors goes black - and it takes a few seconds to "wake up the system" (the monitors doesn't come back to life immediately when I press a key on the keyboard / move the mouse, as they would if a screen saver was active.)
This is very annoying if I step away from my computer for only a short while (like going to the bathroom.)

Here's what I want:
With power (not running on battery):
When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 15 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

Without power (running on battery):
When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 5 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

My best bet is that this is some sort of power saving scheme thingie, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do what I want. Can someone please help me with a step-by-step guide to configure my system the way I want? Thank you.

 

Screen Saver Windows 10 -- goes to screen saver mode after 2-3 minutes

Hello --

I've changed the timing on how soon the screen saver should appear to 45 minutes. (Windows to Power Options to Choose When To Turn Off The Display.) That doesn't work. My screen goes into screen saver mode after 2-3 minutes.

Does anyone know of a solution? Thanks.
