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.majorgee...ickmonitorddc,1.html (select a MajorGeeks download)Thanks Ath. Running to try.
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 skillsI'll try and comment Ath.
Tools like this exist since the beginning of Windows (well, since around the Windows 3.x releases)
Just an example:

For Android use Google Keyboard GBoard.Installed. Seems very promising.
It has clipboard text save and pin etc., which I use as fixed phrase text.

Running to try in safe mode. I download both version x86 and 64 for nirmdThe problem with other display off utilities is that they are reactivated...-Contro (October 25, 2020, 04:04 AM)
If you're saying that the display turns on after getting it to turn off then one more thing to try that may, (or may not), show something:
- Safe boot,
- Run nircmd: nircmd.exe monitor off
- When the display turns on again, (assuming you haven't used the keyboard or knocked the mouse), try powercfg -requests again, see if it shows a reason it turned on.
BTW, what happens if you set the Screen Saver to Blank after a minute?

Thanks but I think my wife would like to have words with you-4wd (October 25, 2020, 06:23 AM)
If needed, I could program a Screen-Off-Overrider.Be careful if you try because for some reason after the screen or display is off after a while begin again on...
In past I already successful did the counterpart for my own Movie-Player, Screen/Drives/Everything (3 different options from windows) stay endless On however energy is configured.
It would react on mouse/keyboard input and how long to wait after last mouse/key-event...
Problem would be, if another program do the same backwards....-KodeZwerg (October 20, 2020, 03:31 AM)
Application Frame Host, WMI Provider host, COM surrogate....all functionality that Windows relies upon to run in the background to give you the Windows experience you expect. And all have little to nothing to do with your screen not turning off.thanks Shades.
WMI stands for Windows Management Instrumentation. A big name for functionality that keeps track of how and when the available resources from your computer are being used. Pretty handy also when you need to keep track of resource usage from many computers in 1 central location. Application Frame host is used for standardizing how and when available resources are spent on applications running on your computer. COM is used to enable information exchange between applications and services that may or may not have information exchange functionality built into them. All without user interaction. MS Office automation used COM a lot. Now less and less, because of REST/JSON.
Yes, perhaps you could make the point that indirectly these functionalities can have an impact on your screen not turning off, but it is highly unlikely that any of these functionalities are the cause of your problem.
4wd is right (as per usual), sounds more and more like there is a problem within your Windows installation.-Shades (October 24, 2020, 08:55 PM)
At the present moment I am applying :Tried.
The display don't display off after the minute of inactivity.-Contro (October 24, 2020, 05:12 PM)
Which still points to a problem within Windows itself so your only probable solutions, (that won't require installing Windows from scratch or otherwise trying to locate the fault), is Kodezwerg's software, (or similar), or an In-place Upgrade.-4wd (October 24, 2020, 07:28 PM)
Let me try this. It's a simple curiosityI also don't understand why we can't do the proofs in safe mode.
Even in safe mode the display off fails...-Contro (October 22, 2020, 06:53 PM)
You can, try it.-4wd (October 22, 2020, 08:33 PM)
If needed, I could program a Screen-Off-Overrider.With external software or addons monitor off the best result I have obtained is applying a simple black screen...

It would seem to indicate that Windows itself is the problem, no software has made any requests to keep the system awake or the display on, (if the output is to be believed).
Try again but wait for a longer period, say an hour or two.
There's always the option to try an In-place Upgrade as a last resort.-4wd (October 20, 2020, 06:33 PM)
