Method 2 (Regedit) just worked for me. Two years later and this is still a problem. I wonder why it only hits some users. Thanks,
Thanks for the advice, it actually didn’t work for me, but as a result of trying out your solutions, I discovered a fix for my problem, which was making the computer go to sleep when unattended for 2 minutes. So basically, just follow the steps from Solution 1, right up to “Change Advanced Power Settings”, then click on the “Sleep” drop down tab (Win10), Then “System unattended”, then “Sleep timeout”. By default, mine was set to 2 minutes, which I then changed to 30 mins. Problem Fixed! Should maybe add this Solution if you update this page.
Fix #2 saved me. THANK YOU. Whatever were they thinking hiding that in there?
Same here - well said Ron
I’ll look it up - what’s the make/model of your system?
See if you got a deep sleep option in BIOS?
I pressed F2 (setup) upon startup and did not find any options/settings pertaining to Sleep. Could it have anything to do with my Bluetooth mouse that I use?
How do I get to my BIOS to check if that is an option?
I tried the first option and it did not change anything. I tried the second option and it did not change anything. I then tried Gil W0MN EN34rb’s suggestion of setting it to zero instead of two and it still turns display off.
yep… Win10 is fully of unacceptable bugs which affect daily use much more than previous flawed versions of Windows.
Also worked by disabling the “Deep sleep” option from BIOS.
