    Which Application Turns Monitor On

    Hey Friends

    My Power Settings are configured to turn monitor off after x minutes.

    After x minutes, monitor turns off properly

    but after few seconds it turns on again

    Is there a way to find out which applicationn turns it on?



    Regards

    well, try a clean boot to disabled all the programs running on the background, after that you can enable them 1 by 1 to test and see which one is the one giving you the problem

    Probably a network card or other piece of hardware that is set "To Wake on
    Activity". That means your computer wakes up due to other hardware activity.
    You'll need to go into Properties of NICs and possibly other devices to stop
    that from happening.
