Monitors won't sleep

Even with power setting on balanced, with monitor sleep time set to 10 minutes, my wife's system's monitors no longer goes to sleep.

 

They were fine up until after we did a fresh windows install, and now they no longer sleep.

 

I even tried turning off the mouse, thinking the laser was waking it up.

 

Thanks

Have you tried going to power options in the control panel?

Yes, this is where I set it to balanced and defined a 10 minute inactivity sleep timer.

Did you think about the fact that someone could have messed with the monitor itself?

Did you change the sleep timer for each power mode? Like balanced, high performance, etc.?

Also in order for a monitor to go to sleep, there has to be no programs that involve motion on the screen otherwise the monitor will stay awake.

I learned this first hand with my PC.

For example, if a youtube video is playing your monitor will not go to sleep, if discord constantly sends notifications in the notifications bar the monitor will stay awake

It is only handbrake, but that is usually done for with a long period of inactivity after. Not sleeping.

This may be your problem. Try running the computer without any programs and without any activity and see what happens after 10 minutes.

I'll give it a shot.

 

However, it wasn't causing this problem before, and it would handbrake while the monitors went to sleep.

If that doesn't work open the task manager and see what is using up most of CPU, RAM, and GPU. Some viruses or malware can keep the computer awake.
