I've got two Windows 8.1 computers and on one I've had the same monitors for years and on the other, one monitor is 4 months old and the other 3-4 years old.
I've noticed recently that I'll leave for 5-20 minutes and I'll come back and my monitors have blanked. Prior to a month or so ago this never happened. I've gone through all the standard and advanced power settings and as usual for any of my desktop computers and made sure:
Turn Off Display is set to Never
Put The Computer to Sleep is Never
In Advanced:
Turn off hard drive when plugged in is set to Never
Sleep After when plugged in is set to Never
Allow Hybrid Sleep when plugged in is set to Off
Hibernate After when plugged in is set to Never
Turn Display Off when plugged in is set to Never
And I haven't changed any settings on my monitors that would cause them to do this, so why are my monitors blanking when idle when I have all settings set to not do that?
