Hello,

I tried setting a 1 minute delay for my monitors to enter standby mode in Windows 11, but when DisplayFusion is running, nothing happens. However, when I quit the program and disable the service, my monitors enter standby mode as expected.

Thanks

In the DisplayFusion Settings > Screen Saver tab, what is the "Timeout" setting set to?

I upload my config. Timeout is 1 minute but screen saver is not activated.

It looks like the screen saver is disabled in DisplayFusion anyway, so this should be handled entirely by Windows. Can you run this command at an elevated command prompt and send me a screenshot of the output?

powercfg /requests

This is the result of the command.

The problem was my USB Pedals... I use this https://superuser.com/questions/1633518/windows-10-desktop-pc-will-not-go-to-sleep-automatically-based-on-set-idle-timer?rq=1
It's an AutoHotkey script to show when the timer resets. I unplugged my pedals, and the counter stopped resetting, allowing my monitors to enter standby mode.

Maybe this can help someone else in the future.

Have a nice day!
