    Windows 10 64 Bit Monitor display turns off after 2 minutes!


    I have three PC's all running the same OS setup but one no matter what I try after 2 minutes the display goes blank, move the mouse and the desktop is there! I found in link but for Windows 7 with the term called "System unattended sleep timeout" added to Advanced Power Settings" but cant find anything like this in Windows 10. And I do not know even if this feature is part of Windows 10 it could be something totally different.So does anyone out there have any ideas as to what I can try please?

    :)

  2. Win 10 - Display turns off after a few minutes

    My display turns off after about 2-3 minutes. The screen goes black and then I get a notice that the monitor is going to sleep.

    I have the following settings:

    Turn off display - 1 hour

    Put the computer to sleep - 2 hours

    Hybernate - 10 hours

    Screen saver - 600 minutes, Mystify

    Require password on wakeup - No

    The system is: Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, ver 1511

    Processor: Intel i5 650 at 3.2GHz, 8GB

    I have tried many different settings and nothing seems to make a difference. I upgraded to Win 10 recently and a few days ago the November update was installed. This problem seems to have started when the update went in. The Nov update was not supposed
    to be installed no earlier than 30 days after upgrade to Win 10 so that I could revert to Win 7 but it installed anyway.

    Anybody know how to get rid of this problem? It is very aggravating. I had to remove the password since I was spending so much time entering passwords to restart the display.

    Windows 10 64 Bit Monitor display turns off after 2 minutes!

    Control Panel, Power Options.
    Click on Change plan settings for the currently active plan.
    Change Turn off display to whatever value you want. I have mine set to never since I use a screen saver and want it to kick in and run when I'm not using the computer. I turn it off manually if I'm not going to use it for awhile.

    Shot in the dark, but do you accidentally have a "blank" screensaver set?
