Monitor doesn't turn off on its own, and PC won't go to sleep
I've got a windows 10 Desktop that I need help with.
Ever since around a week ago, my screen does not turn off automatically, nor does it go to sleep when I leave it for a while (like overnight)
It might be ever since the Creator's Update, but I can't say for sure.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Built-in Power Troubleshooter
I tried running the built-in troubleshooting for power issues, but found nothing.
Powercfg
I tried a variety of things in the command prompt.
Initially, I heard that "powercfg -requests" would tell you what was keeping your PC from sleeping. This told me that the High Definition Audio Device was currently in use, even though nothing was playing. I tried running "powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER "High Definition Audio Device" SYSTEM", in order to ignore that driver when putting the pc to sleep, but the audio driver kept coming back up, and my system never successfully went to sleep on its own.
I don't know what else I can try. I've attached the output from "powercfg -energy" as reference, but please let me know if there's any other piece of information you need.
Thanks!
