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.

None of this works.  My "sleep" and "power off' setting are set to NEVER everywhere I can find.  My screen dims after 1 min even while watching an on-line video (you tube) or a Streaming movie.  It drives me crazy.

 

I need my screen to stay on FOREVER because I do a lot of voice dictation where it cannot turn off!!!

 

Any ideas?

it also does this really creepy thing where it turns back on (sometimes) when it can see my face, though I have turned off facial recognition every where I can find a setting.

Once try to change the screen saver time, I tried it after all the other suggestions and it worked@ksmith 

I also tried everything mentioned here including registry edits to add options to the power plan and even group policy edits. The last comment by @vara_prasad0529 worked for me too. Thank you for saving me a ton of grief.
