Brand new laptop.  I can't get it to stop turning off the display after 1 minute.  I should be able to lock my screen and have the PC stay connected to the display, so I can listen to audio over HDMI, but 1 minute after locking the screen, the whole HDMI signal gets shut off.  This laptop is replacing another Windows machine that did not have this problem, so I know the other components in my setup are fine.

 

Things I have already done:

  • In power settings set everything to not turn off for many hours
  • Set laptop lid setting to do nothing when closed
  • Set HDMI as only display, disabling the laptop screen, which is closed
