  1. Monitor turn off timer keeps resetting to 20 minutes


    After installing update KB5005033 my control panel setting for when the monitor turns off during inactivy keeps resetting to 20 minutes.This is one of the reasons i ususally uninstall Windows update competely, because i don't want some new "feature" or bug added to my already just fine working system.If you want to force security updates up my proverbial butthole, that is okay, but not the other part.Anyways, anyone got any suggestions?And don't you dare mention drivers.Regards, P. Rosenberg

    Monitor turn off timer keeps resetting to 20 minutes

    Screen Sleep Timer resets to 15 minutes

    For a few months now the monitor sleep timer on one of my PC's resets to 15 minutes randomly. I always have my monitors set to never sleep because I don't want to miss updates that might appear on the applications that I use.

    I am the only user and administrator of this PC, I double check every time I start the PC that it is set to Never sleep and yet for some reason I cannot figure out why it just decides to put my settings back to 15 minutes. Any ideas on this would be greatly
    appreciated.
