    Windows 11 Goes to sleep when I turn the monitors off.


    I need my Windows 11 desktop computer to remain on and not in sleep mode even when the monitors are turned off.My company provided me with a desktop tower and twin monitors. I work from home using TeamViewer. I would like to turn my monitors off entirely as to not use the power, and have the computer remain in a powered on state, not in sleep mode. I know there is a way to wake my computer through the internet while it is in a sleep status, but I cannot access that setting. I need to keep my computer off sleep mode even when the monitors are turned off.TeamViewer allows me to mask what I'm doi

    :)

    Dual monitors not waking from sleep

    Hi all,

    I'm having issues where my monitors won't wake from sleep in a dual monitor setup. This only occurs after waking them from a sleep state, and they work fine when booting up my PC from scratch.

    I have tested both monitors in a single monitor setup and the issue goes away completely as they wake from sleep just fine when only using a single monitor. This issue only seems to occur when using both monitors simultaneously.

    I have tried the below steps to no avail to remedy the issue:

    • Changed the DisplayPort cable
    • Uninstalled graphics drivers with DDU and reinstalled them again
    • Made sure Windows update was completely up-to-date, including any optional drivers
    • Made sure there were no unknown devices in Device Manager
    • Turned Link State Power Management under PCI Express in Power Plan settings to off
    • Completely formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows 11
    None of these steps have resolved the issue.

    Any assistance provided will be much appreciated!

    Windows no longer goes to deep sleep - turns monitors off, but fans still running

    This is a mini desktop PC with Windows 11. Previously the PC has gone to sleep fine (turning fans off), but I had an issue with it turning on again randomly.

    I did some troubleshooting, and the result is that it now does not even go to sleep properly anymore.

    When I click Power -> Sleep, the monitors turns off, but the fans keeps going. I have not changed anything in BIOS.

    • I unplugged all USB-devices.
    • powercfg -restoredefaultschemes -> Did not help.
    • powercfg -requests --> Only shows none.
    • I made sure ALL devices in device manager has turned ON "Alow the computer to tum off this device to save power"
    How can I find the reason the computer won't turn completely off?
