  1. Display turns off after 1-2 minutes even though set to 5 minutes


    Hi everyone. I am using Windows 11 and I have set my display to turn off in 5 minutes and the computer to go to sleep in 10 minutes in all cases. However, the display loses brightness in almost a minute and not long after 15 seconds maybe it turns off completely. I have played with advanced power settings as well but no result so far. I have also screen saver turned off so it does not affect either. I suspect this may be due to the face recognition but I don't know what to try to be sure. Any ideas?

    :)

    Turn off the display: 5 minutes; still on 30 minutes later.

    Let's start with the obvious, did you click 'Save changes'?

    Turn off the display: 5 minutes; still on 30 minutes later.

    I created my own Power plan, and set "Turn off display:" to 5 minutes.
    I went away for half an hour, and when I came back, the display is still on.

    Any suggestions why this is not working?

    Windows Goes to Sleep in 1 to 2 Minutes Despite Settings

    I have a Dell Latitude 9410 with Windows 10 Professional. For some reason my computer goes to sleep within 1 to 2 minutes despite my power and sleep settings set to 30 to 45 minutes. I've tried a number of suggestions from forums and sources including the items listed below.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Changed the plan settings for the both the “Balanced” and “Dell” plans under “Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options”. The “Dell” plan is the once selected, but I changed both.

    2. Changed the advanced power settings for the selected plan under “Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings”.

    3. Confirmed there is no a screensaver set under “Control Panel > Screensaver”.

    4. Completed all updates under Windows update.

    5. Confirmed the driver for the graphics card is up to date.

    6. Changed the “Attributes” registry setting under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0" from 1 to 2.

    7. Ran the troubleshooter for power options which reset my settings back to 2 to 4 minutes, rebooted, and then changed it back to my extended settings.
