We'll add this to our list to look into and see if we can find anything there.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Monitor sleep command/shortcut only sleeps monitors for a moment, monitors are back on as fast as they can be https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#10 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 05:18:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#10 DisplayFusion wild, it worked once when I tested after that screenshot for s&g and only the once, straight back to the bugged version after. Tried to repro any and all steps and nothing. just hit the notification for the snip, save, sorted and saw the snip already saved so dragged that from that context box to the browser, and posted. tried each step again but nothing lol weird. ]]> RE: Monitor sleep command/shortcut only sleeps monitors for a moment, monitors are back on as fast as they can be https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#9 Tue, 18 Jun 2024 05:12:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#9 DisplayFusion

Thanks for sending that over, nothing seems to stand out there. Was the script you were running in DisplayFusion just using this line?

BFS.General.SleepMonitors();

Interesting, could you send me a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log


hopefully disabling debug before sending isnt that important here lol, got the export before disabling at least.

9:08 PM ish EST, enabled, did the issue twice, exported and here ]]> RE: Monitor sleep command/shortcut only sleeps monitors for a moment, monitors are back on as fast as they can be https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#6 Wed, 05 Jun 2024 13:36:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/monitor-sleep-commandshortcut-only-sleeps-monitors-for-a-moment-monitors-are-back-on-as-fast-as-they-can-be/?ID=018fc096-aea5-7083-bc0f-cb85ed673488#6 DisplayFusion Interesting, could you send me a debug log?

my original keybind was ctrl win+alt+M, so I changed that to ctrl+alt+, and the monitors still bounced awake.
