Finding process that prevents screen blanking
I have my power saver set to blank the screen after some time. Right
after a boot, it works fine. Some time later it stops blanking. I have tried to figure out what is doing it will little success, other than just rebooting the machine. I am sure I am starting something in my normal course of use that is doing this. I can't find any process in particular that I can stop that makes it better and eventually I break so much stuff I have to boot anyway. Any tips? |

Set it to blank after, say 15 minutes. It is set and works OK for a while after a fresh boot. Sometimes it goes days and still blanks on schedule. Other times a few hours in, it stops blanking. I can't seem to develop any pattern about what is stopping that from happening. Booting always brings it back to blanking on schedule. The only thing I am worried about is that maybe there is some malware running. Modern screens use so little power that you are not really saving much. |

The only thing I am worried about is that maybe there is some malware running. Well, I like CodeStuff Starter to look at services and programs that are running in the background. http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/starter.html I use the portable version. Compare what is running when the screensaver is working OK to what is running when it does not. Quite a few programs have "prevent screensaver from working" in their options. Maybe you closed one down but left the module in memory. You did say "any tips" Warning CodeStuff Starter is a powerful tool. Careful with which services/programs you mess around with. []'s I have tried comparing the task manager list when it os working and not and nothing stands out. This may be a svchost thing since there are lots of them each time. |
