Device powers on immediately upon entering the screen saver mode
Hello I have a problem with my computer set up that have been bugging me for a while. I don't know it it is my computer or monitor causing this problem but whenever i leave my computer and the monitor goes in to "screen saver", i don't have any screen saver animation/pic, just a black screen, the computer "wakes upp" again. Like if i touch the mouse or keyboard. The computer also makes a sound, almost like one of my hard drives starts spinning. But maybe that is normal when "waking up"? I don't even remember... I have tried googling on the problem but i just get links to sites about "how to put on a (real) screen saver" and "how to change screen saver time" and so on... Anyone have any idea? is there a way to log what is happening? From what i remember the computer have not always done this btw, but i cant remember when it started.

I created a script to handle the issue. You can run it with AutoHotkey or use the compiled executable. Pressing F2 will halt the process. It appears your screen frequently wakes up every 40 milliseconds. #NoEnv This solution is optimized for performance and compatibility with upcoming AutoHotkey updates. #Warn Enable warnings to help identify typical problems. SendMode Input is suggested for new scripts because of its speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir sets the working directory to your script location.
Pressing the mouse or keyboard will power on the PC, correct? Check the Power & Sleep settings in the options menu—your device probably turns off the screen after 15 to 30 minutes without a screensaver. I haven’t seen any screensaver options in Windows 10 or 11, so it seems they don’t support them anymore, just shutting off the display. If you’re using an HDD, it will start spinning it up when you turn the PC on.
