Hello. I’m experiencing a recurring issue where my monitors automatically turn off and fail to come back on. For instance, after about 15 minutes of inactivity, when I return and move the mouse, they don’t turn on again. My setup includes two displays—one connected via DVI-D to the CPU and another via DisplayPort on an RTX 3060—and both are not showing any output. I also tried using the keyboard shortcut Win + Ctrl + Shift + B, which produces a single beep. I’m running Windows 11 version 22621 22h2 and have recently updated my NVIDIA drivers. The problem started in early September, and I haven’t changed any settings in the power plan. Additionally, the USB selective suspend option is disabled in my plan. To resolve this, I need to restart the PC, which works until the next time I don’t use it.

Access "PC Settings > System > Power & sleep > Screen" and modify the "When plugged in, turn off after" option to 4 hours or Never.
