Anyone have any idea about this? I have a strange issue which is intermittent, which makes me wonder if it could be hardware related. But it is possible it's a setting in Windows somewhere.
When I wake my computer from sleep, the display usually remains off until I press a key or move the mouse. It never used to do this, I have been putting my Windows 10 computer into sleep mode for years, before I upgraded last year and since then. But only in the last week or two has it been behaving like it does now. It's not a major problem, but it is annoying.
My specs are i5-10600, MSI Z490-A Pro, 16GB, GTX 1660. Windows 10 Pro version 20H2 which I upgraded today from 1909 hoping it might solve the problem, but it hasn't.
I have double checked the BIOS settings and also tried setting them to defaults, that didn't fix it. I can't rule out it being some sort of motherboard fault, but it isn't a BIOS setting at least. Nor do I think it is a monitor fault, the monitor is two years old (iiyama 27") and hasn't exhibited any problems.
Windows power saving is and always has been set to never turn off the monitor under any circumstances, and nor is there any screen saver enabled. (Obviously, the monitor does sleep when I manually put Windows to sleep. It just isn't waking up when I wake the computer.) Hibernation is disabled and always has been.
Since before when it was working, and now, I haven't changed any settings that should affect this, like GPU power (which is set to optimal, the default) or anything else I can think of.
Windows issue? Faulty motherboard / GPU / monitor?
