I have two monitors set up for my PC. My TV is the main display, and I use a second monitor for the secondary screen. I’ve enabled Windows Extend These Displays with Sleep mode, screen saver, and Turn Off Display turned off. When I switch to just the TV using Windows + P, the second monitor turns off because it can’t receive a signal. After turning off the TV at bedtime, the PC automatically switches to the second monitor, which then powers on.

This happens despite having all settings unchanged for about three years now. I recently did a fresh install and haven’t noticed any differences. Could a TV setting be causing this issue?

It looks like the newer smart TVs usually enter a low-power state when you press the power button, but yours doesn’t seem to do that. When I turned it off completely and then back on during troubleshooting, the logo would appear again, which shouldn’t happen unless the device was unplugged or the power button was held down.
