HDMI no signal when idle?
When my PC is idle for about 15 minutes, it loses connection to HDMI. I get the picture back by pressing Windows key + P. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Thank you in advance! :)

Its your TV. Basically modern TVs power down unused connection to save power. Your computer turns off the connection after 15 mins, your TV then powers it off completely and resuming it which should just be moving the mouse or pressing the key doesn't wake the TV back up, instead your having to reinitialise the display by reenabling the connection from scratch.

Either disable monitor auto off in power settings or check your TV for power settings/green mode etc.
