Is there an option to turn off the display while the screen is locked?
I do not want to turn off display based on idle time as the "Power & sleep" settings allow. I do not want the screen to turn off after a minute when the screen is not locked.
I do want the screen to turn off when the screen is locked.
This currently works on my laptop. The display is turned off after the screen is locked for a minute. It is not working on a new Windows 10 Pro install on my desktop which is fully updated. When the screen is locked, the display stays on indefinitely.
Update: This doesn't work on my laptop either. Did something change?
I really can't believe that this isn't an option and feel like I am overlooking something obvious as a user. We aren't really expected to run third party software for something like this, are we? I am able to easily set preference in Ubuntu and I'm pretty sure it was set as an option on my laptop. What am I missing?
What I have tried
Searching for solutions brings suggestions of running task scheduler with a trigger to run third party software that will turn off the screen when the screen is locked. I do not wish to install third party software for a basic Windows setting that I know to work on other systems.
I could not find any appropriate duplicates of this question. The only thing close was a question about an apparent bug that was fixed in a later Windows update1, except that user seemed to want a general idle time applied and I do not.
I have turned off my USB wireless mouse while testing.
I have confirmed there is no software preventing the screen from turning off:
powercfg /requests
DISPLAY: None.
SYSTEM: None.
AWAYMODE: None.
EXECUTION: None.
PERFBOOST: None.
ACTIVELOCKSCREEN: None.
I have generated an energy report that shows no helpful information by running:
powercfg /energy
I have tried running the power troubleshooter from control panel with no helpful fixes.
