Screenshot Captor / Re: switching between captures with and without special effects possible?

Well, that sounds kind of a correct assessment.
Mouser has been promising a revamped key-mapping feature in SC where all available (menu)options would be available for mapping to a hotkey (when SC is focused), but that isn't available yet.

You could craft up an AHK or AutoIt script that finds and opens the SC settings and toggle that setting for you, though.

You will have to experiment with tools to find something that might work. You can try to control the monitor via DDC using this tool: https://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/clickmonitorddc,1.html (select a MajorGeeks download)

It is very likely the combination of some software on your system that wakes it up every so much minutes, and a monitor that has a very poor power-save implementation.

You still need to develop your google skills :(
Tools like this exist since the beginning of Windows (well, since around the Windows 3.x releases)
Just an example:

Living Room / Re: When rubber (computer mouse) gets old and sticky, what can you do

If the fading rubber is the only problem the mouse has, of course.

My experience is that once the external of the mouse is (severely) deteriorated, than the internals aren't that good as well.

Recently replaced a switch on 3 Logitech M705's, where they started to double-click 'for free', but on 2 of the 3 I also need to replace the other switch, it seems. And it isn't a bad batch either, as the ages of those 3 are quite different (youngest being < 1 yr old when it started failing, second ~5 yr and oldest > 7 yr before it failed).

Most likely the plasticizer in the material is breaking down, so eventually the surface will get less rubbery over time. Nothing you can do about it, AFAIK, except of course replace the entire mouse. Had quite a few of them doing this, over time, usually after many years of good use though.
