Dude! You rock!! My power button just went bad on my Dell 24" PC monitor and it's a bummer.... but this makes it all better. Most these utilities just do a full screen BLACK , but this actually puts the monitor in to power save mode... PERFECT. I just wiggle my mouse to bring it back up and Bob's my Uncle. ;-) I love lightweight bat files like this. I made a shortcut on my desktop, I click it and BOOM. Thanks!! DB

@lestor (see his review below and his request "make it possible not to awaken the screen when moving the mouse"): There is already a free tool (not sure if it's freeware) called "Sordum Monitor Off v1.1" that provides this feature.

Hello, unfortunately it doesn't work on a tablet. If I turn off the display, background processes will stop working. I assume that it is related to the modern standby mode. It is not possible to wake up the display by touch, it is probably related to the requirements below regarding the mouse. It cannot be parameterized so that it turns off only the display and does not put background processes to sleep, it cannot be woken up by touching the screen

Please make it possible not to awaken the screen when moving the mouse. The meaning in the application is lost because the slightest random touch of the table where the computer is located awakens the screen as the mouse twitches. Please make it possible to awaken the screen only using the keyboard! In all other aspects, the application is perfect!

I've searched and downloaded several other turn off monitor programs and they all lock the screen. I was really hopeful for this one, but despite lock workscreen being optional I can't get it to stay unlocked. I've opened the doff.ini file and changed AlwaysLockWorkStation from no to yes, to no, to deleting it, rewriting it again but can't figure it out. Please help!Reply from Display Power Off UtilityPosted 2023-01-08
AlwaysLockWorkStation locks workstation (as well as /l switch) before turning display off. Workstation lock can be enforced by corporate policy, nothing can be done about it.
