Windows 10: Windows 10 Desktop PC monitors are always on, even if set to go to sleep.

My Windows 10 PC's monitors stay on indefinitely, even though in the power and sleep settings the monitors are set to turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity.

Please advise, I'm usually good with computers, but I have no clue what is going on here. The only software conflict I can think of is remote desktop, but that should keep the computer awake, not the monitors as well.

Continuous Device Connect/Disonnect Sound when HP W2207 Monitor Sleeps

Hope someone can help.

HP Pavilion p7-1287c Desktop PC with HP W2207 monitor, running Windows 10. DVI cable from monitor to PC.

Here's what's happening:

• If signed out of windows the monitor sleeps without issue.
• If signed on to windows the monitor sleeps and the computer loops the device connect/disconnect sound.
• If using VGA cable no issues with monitor sleeping but computer won't sleep.
• Have disconnected all USB devices except wireless mouse/keyboard combo.
• Have tested with wired USB mouse and keyboard same issue.
• Have ensured all drivers are updated to the latest versions.
• Have tried playing with the Advanced Power Option settings for USB and no change in behavior.
• Have tried requiring a password on wakeup and still no change.
• Would like to keep the DVI cable vs going back to VGA.

Please don't suggest turning off the sound for connecting/disconnecting devices.

Thanks.

Monitor Defies Sleep Setting

I have followed every suggested setting posted regarding monitors going to sleep even though the setting for monitor sleep is set to "Never". A Microsoft agent told me I would have to reset Windows 10 to get it to work properly. I did that and spent 2
days reinstalling all of my programs, but the monitor still fall asleep against the "Never" setting. I've run the Power Troubleshooter and it tells me my timer setting are too long and then proceeds to change them for me. (That's something I don't appreciate,
I am capable to make my own decisions on those settings.)

In any event, has Microsoft created a hidden setting somewhere that keeps switching my "Never" setting back to "15 minutes"? I'm about to dump Windows 10 and return to Windows 7. I am at the point with this that I almost wish I had never upgraded. Maybe
that's why it's free, it is acting like a beta.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get the settings for monitor sleep to stick?

Thanks and sorry about the rant.

 

Windows 10 Power Sleep: PC waking up during the day/night and not going back to sleep

Windows 10 Power Sleep: PC waking up during the day/night and not going back to sleep:

My HP Pavilion Desktop will go to sleep after I am finished as normal (whether walking away, signed out, switched user but not logged in to other user) after a while the pc will wake up and the monitor will turn on and stay on. Sometimes the monitor will
go back to sleep but pc remains on. I have not been able to resolve this issue and has been occurring over months. PC will wake during the night and monitor will stay on and neither will go back to sleep. Have reset power settings to default monitor sleeps
at 10 min, pc sleeps after 20 minutes. I know there are settings and software that can wake up a pc but I have not been able to find the list in Windows 10.

My pc is a 2018 HP Pavilion Desktop Windows 10 updated 64but AMD12 PC-570-p0xx and fully updated as of Sept 25th 2018.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
