    Monitor turns on by itself


    Hi. My screen is set to turn off after 5 minutes, no sleep, no hibernation. It does turn off but turns back on immediately. After another 5 minutes (or whatever time I set it to) it turns off again but this time it stays off as it should. I've got the latest drivers, my monitor: LG Flatron E2360. Everything works fine under Ubuntu. Any ideas please? (win10 v.1903)

    Sounds like a monitor glitch, not a Windows thing. Have you checked your LG auto power-off settings? How old is the monitor?

    Hi, thanks for replying. As I said, the monitor runs fine under ubuntu and it also runs fine under win 7 and win xp so I don't think it's a monitor glitch. And I never touched monitor settings apart from reducing brightness. The monitor is about 6 years old I guess.

Monitor turns off

This happened sometimes in Windows 8.1 and still happens in Windows 10. I went into settings and changed when to turn off monitor to never and put this computer to sleep to never so why does the monitor turn off after no activity anyway?
