Question Monitor not shutting off on lock screen

[rh71]

WIN10 PC with latest updates. This had been working until only recently. It used to be when I hit WIN+L to lock the PC, it would shut off my monitor/display (power saving) after a minute or so. Now it just stays on even after a few hours. Latest Nvidia drivers for a 1060 and it did the same in the previous version as well.

Not a problem with your monitor.

A problem with your computer sleep.

What software did you install recently?


also see:

Powercfg command-line options

You can use the powercfg.exe tool to control power schemes (also named power plans) to use the available sleep states, to control the power states of individual devices, and to analyze the system for common energy-efficiency and battery-life problems.

specifically:
powercfg /requests
powercfg /lastwake
powercfg /waketimers
powercfg /sleepstudy
powercfg /systemsleepdiagnostics

good luck

Thanks, very useful log the latter ones.

I'm seeing this and don't know what to do with it as I can't rename or move it:
DISPLAY:
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume8\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe

SYSTEM:
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume8\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe

But also in the latter reports, this may be the culprit...

What is MoUSOCoreWorker.exe? Why does it keep restarting and waking PC from Sleep Mode?

I've paused updates for the next 7 days but it's still waking up...

I did run MalwareBytes which came back with nothing.

EDIT>> Killed the [stuck?] service that runs installutil.exe and it seems to have done the trick. There's a little utility called Autoruns to check all being executed/run.
