Windows 11: screen turns off too often
If your computer screen is turning off too quickly while you are working, it could be related to power settings or screen saver settings on your computer. Here are some steps you can try to adjust those settings and prevent your screen from turning off too frequently:
1.Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type "control" in the box and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
2. Click on "Power Options".
3. Under "Select a power plan", click on "Change plan settings" for the current plan you are using.
4. Next, click on "Change advanced power settings".
5. In the "Power Options" window, scroll down to "Display" and expand it.
6. Look for "Turn off display after" and click on the "minutes" drop-down box. Try setting this to a longer period of time, such as 10 or 15 minutes.
7. Also check that "Dim the display" is set to "Never".
8. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.
Nope. Best Buy (where I bought it) as no help, and there is nothing I've tried the fixes it. In addition, there is an obvious facial recognition thing going on, because when i turn and look at my screen, it comes back on (if it has dimmed). Drives me nuts.
Hi James
I eventually found a solution using item 2 on this website:

It looks like you're following the previous route but it does what it says and produces the "one minute" timer. This one worked for me. (Windows 11, AMD Rizen PC).But I guess you've already tried it.
