    Windows 10 - turn off display on tablet without sleeping


    Hi!

    I have a Lenovo Yoga Book tablet that I use as a display for a home automation system. And up until one windows update a few months ago now everything was working fine. I had the tablet configured to turn off the display after 10 minutes but never go to sleep. And pressing the power button would only turn off the display. That way I could just touch the display and the screen would come up. But as I said, one of the Windows updates broke this functionality. The Turn Off display option disappeared from settings for power button, and setting the screen to turn off after 10 minutes will put the computer to sleep as well.


    Now, I had previously modified the CsEnabled enabled registry flag to 0 in:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power


    Upon checking that again I found out that it got enabled again with the update. So I disabled it again... only now this doesn't work anymore. Yes, the turn off display option is back and sleep is gone as expected. But... pressing the power button will turn off the display, but it will immediately turn on again without touching anything. Similarly the display will never turn off despite me not using the computer at all it's just running the desktop.


    Please help me get this back to a usable state!

    :)

    Windows 10 won't turn off display or sleep because of USB device

    My Windows 10 install will not turn off display or sleep because of 2 USB devices.

    I have around 10 USB devices, and I have worked out that it is my Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS joystick and throttle that are preventing the system to turn off display and sleep.

    If I turn those off then everything is OK.

    Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

    Turn On or Off Tablet Mode in Windows 10


    No! not at all . When I did fset my PC to "tablet mode" the Start Menu changed and now when I click on "Start" I get tiles over a darkened desktop Instead of the usual Start Menu on the left side of the screen. I want to get back to the "not tablet mode" but I cannot do it as I do it on my tablet PC.

    Is it sinking in?

    That is why I posted on "Tablet Mode - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 "


    • Nice evening to you.
