Turn off display is not working

I like to have the display turn off to prevent burn in and unnecessary use on the display. This used to work, I would uses WIN+L to lock it and it would turn off. This seems to have stopped working. Anyone else noticing this?

I also use a slideshow on the lock screen. Seems like when it's supposed to lock it just goes to a wallpaper (whatever the lockscreen was set to when set to "picture" intead of "slideshow" with no time and stuff like the normal lock screen.

Under Personalization > Lock Screen I have set "Turn off the scree after the slideshow has played for" to 30 minutes (side note, any know how to reduce that time? 30 is the lowest but there has to be a reg key to change?). After 30 minutes, instead of turning off it shows the picture (see attached image).

Under power settings "When plugged in, turn off my screen after" is set to 1 minute.

The screen just will not turn off. I do have a 7900XTX GPU, maybe it's something in the AMD software? I have looked, nothing stood out.

Try this under personalization: Click Lock Screen> screen timeout> energy recommendations> click "apply" turn my screen off after 3 minutes.
Let us know if that works.

Screen is turning off now but in one minute LOL. Nothing is set to turn it off in one minute but now it is. I guess a win?

Thanks for letting us know what happened!

Except now it's turning off if I take a leak whilst playing a game. So not good

Ummm..............so not sure what you want? Don't leave your game, drink less, what else?

I did see this and tried it. When I did that, all three of my screens were off but flashing. The only way I could get my screens to come back on was hold the power button.
