Hello,

I am situated where I have to see my computer screen whether I am working on my computer or not, and so because the light hurts my eyes it needs to turn off the screen when I am not using it.

I used to be able to get the screen to turn off after a couple of minutes, and it would go black. But now for some reason I cannot get it to work. Can somebody please help me with this problem? I would really appreciate the help.

These are my settings:

Control Panel/Power Options

Power Saver button is ticked.

Set on:
Turn off the display 1 minute
Put the computer to sleep 1 minute

----------------

Right click computer screen/Personalize

Clicked on Screen Saver and chose BLANK and Wait 1 minute

On resume display log on screen is not ticked.

Well nevermind about this. I looked online and one of the trouble shooter things it said was to try restarting your computer. So I tried doing that and it works now.
