I have this problem at my helpdesk:
On a Windows 7 computer the screen goes into standby mode just a few seconds after a key is hit or the mouse is moved.
Looking into the Power Options in the Control Panel, I find that the option Turn off the display is set to less than a minute. This is strange, because normally it isn't possible to choose a lower value. This answer on SU even suggests that it is impossible to set a value lower than a minute. It also shows clearly that it isn't the user that changed this setting without knowing.
As this is a recurring problem I hope to find the cause of this unexpected changes to this setting.
Can this setting be changed somewhere else than in Power Options ? What could be the cause for this strange behavior ?
