Hello all,

How do I keep my display and computer from going to sleep after only 2-3 minutes of idle time?

This is extremely frustrating having to constantly move my mouse to wake the computer and display.

 

I have gone into the Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings and made the following changes under the "Plugged In" option:

  • Turn of the display "Never"
  • Put the computer to sleep:  "Never"

But this does not seem to work.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?
