    Dual monitors go to sleep in a minute


    My apologies if this is been asked many times before. I installed two Dell 24 inch monitors which I have now on installed. However after installing them my dual monitors go to sleep in what seems like amendment so. Also, Firefox is my default browser but one I click on the Firefox icon it opens to Microsoft Edge Shopping which is annoying.

    This is on a Windows 10 desktop.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    Make Firefox your Default Browser
    For the monitors going to Sleep. Did this happen before you installed the monitors?
    Check on the Monitors Menu if there is a Power Saving setting.
    Check if you have a Screensaver. Right click the desktop and choose Personalize/Lock Screen click the link for Screensaver Settings. Take the drop down arrow and choose Screensaver / None. Apply and OK. You can also check the Power Settings link for the computer here.

    Firefox is my default browser. I have the icon on my task bar. When I start Firefox it takes me to the the Bing page. I have repeatedly checked to see that Firefox is my default browser. This all started when I bought two Dell 24 inch monitors but then used them for a day or two and took them back because they had poor resolution. I am uncertain about the sleep mode and I am about to reboot my computer. However, I had checked all the setting you suggested and it still has not worked to date.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you for your response!!!

    Bing is set to your Default Search Engine, click this link to learn how to change your default search engine. Click this link to learn how to change your Default home page for Firefox.
    What is the make and model# of your Video Card (GPU) that you plug the monitors into? What inputs are you using from your monitors? HDMI? Display Port? VGA? or something else? You resolution is more set by the type of cable and the Video Driver you are using from your Video Card Manufacturer. Have you updated your Video driver?
