Windows 10: Windows 10 randomly turning screen off or going into Standby Mode

Hi there,


The same is happening to me, as well. Video, sound, everything works normally, sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes 2 hours and then screen goes blank and the only way how to get PC to life again is hard power shutdown.

It never happened before , until the last Windows update.


Best regards Igor

:)

Hello,

  Is the issue confined to any specific game?
  

This issue might have occurred due to the outdated\corrupted Display adapters.

  Device Manager.

Hi there. I have the same issue. I found a thread that I think accurately describes the cause of the problem, however Microsoft and nVidia have not yet supplied a solution (from what I can tell).

Hi,

There might be a chance that there is some HDD corruption. So, I would suggest you to scan your HDD using chkdsk command from the elevated command prompt.

Steps to run CHKDSK command.

• Press windows key + X
• Select Command prompt (Admin) from the list.
• Press OK the
  UAC prompt if shown. That will open an elevated command prompt. (It will show Administrator in the caption.)
  

Then enter the chkdsk command

chkdsk c: /f (or other drive letter if applicable)

Confirm to run on next startup and reboot.



Computer can’t run a disk check while actively using Windows, but you can schedule it to start automatically the next time your computer is turned on.



When the disk check is finished, your computer will automatically reboot. The disk check will fix any problems it encounters in your hard drive.



Important: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost

Do keep us updated.

Regards,
