I use an OLED display and set a shorter off period for the monitor. It bothers me if I pause briefly because everything disappears quickly. Previously, when I manually unlocked the lock screen, the wallpaper would stay visible for about 30 seconds before the screen turned off. Now it lingers longer after manual activation. I haven’t checked the settings to see if they’re separate, and I’m not sure why this change happened. The update from 25H2 coincided with this issue, but I can’t confirm. Rolling back isn’t a viable solution in the long run.
I don't understand your reply. For my OLED, I set a time limit to avoid wear and prevent burn-in. On my IPS/TN screens, I usually use 1 hour. When I'm away, I lock the system and it turns off quickly. Now it doesn't do that. I think you might have missed something. I could simply turn off the monitor instead of locking it. I'll have to get used to this method instead of the one I've been using. I expect many times of "why isn't the system responding" as I adjust to it!
I understand precisely what you're referring to—the brief pause around 30 seconds before the screen turns off when locked. Using a "monitor" made it much more comfortable for me. I'm not at home to try it out, and I've disabled display off since I'm using an OLED TV instead of a monitor, but I thought you were right about its original behavior. It could be interesting to explore: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubl...-pc-locked
powercfg.exe -attributes SUB_VIDEO 8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7 -ATTRIB_HIDE applied the setting. It confirmed a one-minute lock time. However, when I waited on my phone timer, it took longer than expected—over three minutes passed without sleeping. I stopped checking then. Possibly another factor is affecting it. I’ve noticed my screen turns off after some time when the system isn’t locked but active, like while eating. This seems to match the 10-minute timer behavior.
Yeah. I understand it's different, but in practice it works a bit like that? Just need to press a button on the mouse or keyboard to turn it on. (though maybe I missed something)
I believe it faded quickly "just then" last night. My idea is that a program might be active at that moment and could be preventing the screen from staying on. For example, if you're playing a game or watching videos, they might keep the display alive even when idle.
