Laptop sleeps but monitor not staying in stand by mode.

[mokolp3]

Bought an HP Omnibook Ultra 14 laptop and when windows goes to sleep, the monitor doesn't stay in stand by as it used to do with my Desktop.

When Windows goes to sleep, the monitor goes on stand by for a couple of seconds than it powers up back and tries to get a signal from the Display Port and goes to stand by again. It loops like this constantly instead of staying in stand by.

Normally the monitor would stay in stand by as long as Windows is in sleeping state.

Laptop is connected via USB C on Laptop to Display Port on Monitor.

Anyone ran into this ? Any fix ?
