Windows 11 Monitor coming out of standby

[nlel1975]

Does anyone else have this issue with Windows 11? I’ve set my monitor to go into standby after 3 minutes and it goes into standby after 3 minutes as expected. Then a few minutes later it wakes itself up, then 3 minutes later goes back into standby again and this time stays in standby.

I seem to recall I had similar issue with my old monitor but I never used to let it go into standby. Someone here reporting exactly the same issue…

Try it and see.

Well I've got a way to make this better. I've created a text file in notepad with the command...

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "(Add-Type -MemberDefinition '[DllImport(\"user32.dll\")] public static extern int PostMessage(int a, int b, int c, int d);' -Name f -PassThru):: PostMessage(-1, 0x112, 0xF170, 2)"

Then saved it as a .bat file. I've got it on the desktop, as soon as I double click on it, it puts the monitor in standby. This is better than waiting for it to go into standby after 3 minutes.

It still comes out of standby after a few minutes before going into standby permanently after a further 3 minutes.

I've narrowed it down to Logitech Ghub, which is waking my screen exactly after 5 minutes of not touching my PC.

Yeah I’ve got the Logitech Ghub installed. As I say running a batch file to put the monitor into standby is one way to make it go into standby quicker, then it wakes up once and goes to sleep permanently after your set amount of time.

Not perfect but better.
