Displays Going to Sleep
Set up a new PC at work (I'm the network admin). We have a power plan we apply to all PCs (same one that was on my last PC). On this computer, however, whenever I lock my PC (using Win+L), within 30 ...
Hi LuckyC14,
If you're certain the power plan is identical to the one used on your previous PC, I'd start looking at settings outside of the standard power plan.
One thing that comes to mind is the "Console lock display off timeout" setting, which can affect how quickly displays turn off after locking the PC. Group Policy settings are also worth checking if this is a managed environment.

Is this Windows 11, and is the PC joined to a domain? That might help narrow things down.
