[SOLVED] Screen Saver - Turn off display issues when logged in

[jraymond4321]

Hi,


I'm running Windows 10 64bit ver 2004.


I have a new issue with both my screen saver and my power off display settings.


Neither setting works when I am logged in with my main (admin) account.


I have tried with my screen saver set to 1 minute, and my turn off display set to 2 minutes.


I have also tried with my screen saver set to "none" and my turn off display set for 2 minutes. When I am logged in nothing happens. If I log out of all accounts, the turn off display works.


This is a new problem. My screen saver previously worked fine (usually had it set for 5 or 10 minutes) and the displays would power off after 15 minutes. I've just noticed the problem in the last few days. I have not added any new programs but a few have had automatic updates in the last few days.


So far I have tried:

1- the Troubleshooter/Power

2- SFC Scannow

3 - DISM routine (all 3)

4- tried disabling the USB Selective Suspend

5- checked display drivers are updated


Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Anything to look at in the Windows Logs?


Thanks!

For anyone else with a similar problem, it looks like it was a Nvidia update. I removed and the turn off display is working. Haven't checked the screen saver yet.
