Suddenly, my screens (set to sleep after 20 minutes while plugged in) do not go to sleep at all. Other issues are the wallpaper always resets to black and the monitor config randomly changes. If I disable DisplayFusion, the problems evaporate. The replies from DisplayFusion on this thread and related threads only ask for more info, but offer no solutions. I pay for the software, so please solve these issues.

I know I'm almost a year late to it, but I just bought DisplayFusion on Steam and am using it to manage taskbars on my 3 monitors. Over the past few nights I've noticed that at least 1, sometimes 2, and for the past two nights now all 3 monitors will not go to sleep fully. the screens go black, but it's that backlit black versus truly turning off. ive gone over settings with a fine tooth comb and nothing I can find seems to be causing this. it's not a problem per se, but it is incoconvenient to have light shining up my room while I'm trying to sleep. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda#9 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 18:58:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda#9 DisplayFusion @Jonathan: Could you provide some more details?

The issue only seems to take effect for me when I enable DisplayFusion's management of the desktop wallpaper.

I'm using the latest Windows 10 with the latest DisplayFusion 9 beta. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda#2 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 11:50:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda#2 DisplayFusion Having the same issues since I've installed the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
Tried all DisplayFusion 9 Beta's and the final. Also the latest DisplayFusion 8 has this issue.

When using DisplayFusion for my wallpapers, my PC will never start the (Windows or DisplayFusion) screensaver nor will it put my monitors in standby or let my PC go into sleep mode.

When I disable the wallpaper functionality, the screensaver (Windows & DisplayFusion) will work again. Also my 3 monitors will go into standby and the PC will also enter sleep automatically again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda Sat, 28 Oct 2017 11:05:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/screens-not-turning-offsleeping/?ID=66ed8c55-7b31-4c53-ab5a-b99589d09dda DisplayFusion I have Windows 10 set to turn off my display after being idle for 15 minutes (computer doesn't go to sleep, just turns off display). Since installing the last update for DisplayFusion my screens will no longer turn off. I've tested by closing DisplayFusion, and the screens will turn off as long as it's not running, but if I reopen it the screen just stay on all the time.

Edit: Also, I've checked in command prompt, using the "powercfg -requests" command, and it shows there are no requests for the display, so I'm not sure what type of call is keeping the display on.

Edit 2: I went ahead and ran a long for a little over 15 minutes, and attached that to this comment, in case that will be useful. ]]>
