Sleeps/Screen turns black on main monitor during a skype /ms teams call.

HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop cx0xxx

Whenever i call using skype or microsoft teams, it will turn my main monitor to sleep/black screen. I can still see the display from my 2nd monitor. When it is in sleep, it won't wake up even if i move my mouse or press escape button.

I will only get fix when i press the power button and login again.

I would suggest you Uninstall and reinstall the skype and check if that works out.

For Sleep issue, I suggest you make a few changes to the way sleep mode works under power options:

• Change - "Put the computer to sleep" to preferred time,
• And Change - "Turn off the monitor" to never.

If the issue persists, try the below steps:

Disabling the hybrid sleep, followed by updating all available Windows updates and the BIOS update from the HP website, please follow the below steps to disable the hybrid sleep after performing a hard reset on the device should help resolve the issue.

1. In Windows, search for and open Control panel.

2. Make sure the View by setting is set to Category, and then click Hardware and Sound.

3. Click Power Options.

4. Click Change plan settings for the power plan that is selected.

   

5. Click Change advanced power settings.

   

6. Expand Sleep, and then expand Allow hybrid sleep.

7. Select Off from the On battery drop-down menu, and then select Off from the Plugged in drop-down menu.

   
    

8. Click OK.
