The cable was borrowed :-) Perhaps the mistake I made was either closing the computer before pulling the cable, or not trying to do the hardware ejection process properly (I don't think I had an icon for it in the system tray though). If I ever do another presentation with this computer I will...

Yeah I saw that, I wasn't going to reinstall my graphics drivers unless I absolutely had to, and I wasn't sure what 'adapter' it referred to, and generally it wasn't helpful. I played with my screen timeout settings for half an hour and nothing changed. There was something stuck in...

System Restore back to the day before I first tested the projector, and my screen now goes dark as it used to! Thanks!

Oh I do have a restore point from last Thursday, the day before I tested the projector! It's from Windows Update, but if I do that, then I will just have to repeat whatever Windows Update was done that day. I can fall back to that and see if it's resolved.

I used to use Macrum Reflect but it stopped working for me even with the free version. It would not make a backup. So I've resorted to just using file backups done manually. I don't think I have restore points turned on either, sadly.

I really appreciate people sticking with me and trying to solve this puzzle!

So I'm totally screwed and because I gave one presentation in my life I can never have my display time out again? This seems rather harsh...

Is it possible that Windows 11 Home doesn't HAVE presentationsettings? because I cannot find it, it does not seem to exist on my computer.

Nope, that doesn't help either.... I'm really stumped!

The only thing you suggest that I haven't tried is the resetting of the power plan, which I will try in a bit.

Tried #4 twice already. Do not have projector anymore it belonged to the venue. Thanks for staying with me on this....

I will make a series of replies so I can fully answer your questions: I didn't see an option for Presentation Settings in win-X. The command line attempt brought this: The term 'presentationsettings.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program...
