Monitors keep timing out after a minute

[GetBeaned]

I just got DF and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but one big problem I'm having is that for some reason it is greying my screens out after a minute of inactivity, despite setting every setting I can find related to it off.

I didn't have this problem prior to installing DF, so I'm certain there is something in DF causing it.

Is this happening at the lock screen, or while logged in?

While logged in. It doesn't occur if a video or game is playing, but when not moving the mouse on a screen without media it times out after exactly 1 minute.

I had my windows setting to time the screen out after 20 minutes and sleep after 30, which it was doing prior to installing this, but I've disabled both options now and it still time out after a minute.

Can you check the DisplayFusion Settings > Screen Saver tab to see if it's enabled?

[GetBeaned]

"Allow DisplayFusion to manage the Screen Saver" is currently disabled.

Ok, DisplayFusion shouldn't be controlling any of the monitor off/screen saver settings then. If you open the Windows Screen Saver settings, is it enabled?

I reinstalled DF and it seems to have fixed it. I guess there must've been an option somewhere I missed. I've checked all the screensaver options and they are all off. Weird.

Thanks anyway. This was the only flaw I could find with the software so I'm very happy to see it's resolved!

No worries, glad to hear you were able to get it sorted out!

I've got the same issue, as of just recently when I set a new wallpaper for my lock screen in display fusion: windows now times out after a minute idle and goes to the log-in screen. No screen saver set on windows, display fusion isn't given control of my screen saver either.

What's the monitor sleep timeout set to in the Windows Power Options?

[Aliased]

Set to never turn off.

[Keith Lammers (Binary Fortress)]

So if you're just idle at the desktop, after 1 minute it goes to sleep? Or does it go to sleep after 1 minute of being at the lock screen?

Also, does this still happen if you exit DisplayFusion?

[Aliased]

Fixed it by fiddling around in display fusion settings, not sure what setting fixed it, but it seems like display fusion had given itself permissions I hadn't actually given it based on checkboxes, and then applied settings I hadn't applied. Actually giving it the permissions and choosing my own settings caused it to stop.

It happened after one minute not interacting with the mouse or keyboard. Could be in the middle of a show, mid-cutscene in a game, whatever. Screen would just go to sleep and wake back up to the lock screen.

Ok, thanks for the update. Glad to hear it's all good now!

I'm having this issue, fresh install and I can't even read a news article without my monitors all doing to sleep.
It's not going ot the lock screen, just the monitors go to sleep.
