Monitor won't stay asleep, driving me crazy.

[CAPP85]

Im having this strange issue on my windows 10 PC where my monitor goes to sleep after the amount of time set in my power options but will then wake up on it's own after a minute or 2 then the cycle repeats. I'm running Windows 10, a GTX 2080 Super and the monitor is connected via display port. I've tried all the usual steps, updating drivers, different display port on the card, disable wake on LAN, etc. Any other suggestions?  Thanks

Hello and welcome.

 

I'd guess then that it's the monitor unless you mean your entire system is waking up.  If it's the entire system then perhaps there is something polling your mouse.

Unplug all usb's and similar, like to your mouse keyboard ect, but if you added a new usb or audio/other device, try unplugging that first, because I had the same issue and it was just my microscope

I tried your recommendation of unplugging all USB devices and the issue only occurs if the moue or keyboard are connected.  I even power off the mouse (wireless) just to make sure i wasn't accidentally moving it and i was definitely not touching the keyboard.  I haven't been able to find any one else experiencing a similar issue.  I've even set both mouse and keyboard to not be able to wake the PC from sleep but that doesn't help the issue.

I have this problem with an LG monitor .... since you mention unplugging keyboard and mouse resolves this, can i ask what keyboard/mouse and monitor?

Unplug the monitor at night. It's just as easy to unplug that as it is to unplug the keyboard and mouse
