Hi, I just purchased a QD-OLED monitor and am using it alongside two standard ones on the sides. It’s my first OLED display, so I wanted to avoid burn-in problems by setting Windows 11 to put the monitors to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. Note: I only adjusted the monitors, not the whole PC. However, I’m experiencing an issue where they take longer than the expected time to enter sleep mode. For instance, when I stopped using the mouse and keyboard, it took 22 minutes instead of the set 15 minutes. It seems there’s a random delay each time. When I tried setting Windows to sleep after just one minute for testing, it worked fine. But once I extended it to about 10 or 15 minutes, the process slowed again. I searched online and ran the command “powercfg /requests” in an admin terminal, but I’m not sure if any settings under System or Discord are causing the problem. I also disabled Nvidia High Definition Audio in Device Manager, which seemed to resolve the issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA
