Screens won't turn off / no screensaver

Featured Replies

My PC, if turned on, will never turn off screens after an amount of time.  I've checked my power management settings and its set to 10 min.

It's really odd....also can't set a screensaver (IE blank screen)

Sometimes this issue is fixed by unplugging your controller. Weird I know but it has fixed it in the past. So if joystick, yoke or whatever, give it a try. After unplugging and waiting the allotted time monitors should turn off. 

 

Happy Christmas. 🙂 

Are screen savers still used. I thought they were just to prevent pictures being imprinted on CRT monitors....Or something like that. :unsure:

Yes, you are right Ron. Only us old farts would remember those days when the screen image would actually burn itself into the monitor face. These days, that is not an issue, but some people still use them only for the look of it, not the functionality.

 

As a side note, this is actually aviation related as well. I remember with the 757, 767 we used to swap out the EICAS screens, top to bottom as part of routine maintenance, to minimize screen burn on the CRT EICAS screens because the engine 'arcs' would burn into the screens.

This happens to me sometimes. Usually, after a Windows update. Very frustrating.

I don't have a sure-fire way to fix it. I go to the Power settings dialogs and change settings back and forth until it starts working again. Hi-tech methodology right there.

Check your display settings.  I found that's it's the only way to manage this "feature" so graciously offered by Microsoft.   Power management doesn't correct the problem.
