    How to put screen after 2h to sleep and NOT turn it off?


    How can I put my current screen/monitor into sleep mode (e.g. after 2h) and NOT turn it off completely (after 2h) ?

    When I go to Control Panel--Hardware and Sound ---Power Options and switch for example to my currently active "Balanced" plan then I have the choice:

    what to do with display/monitor:

    Turn off the display after 2 hours
    ...or NEVER

    I found no option put display to sleep after 2 hours

    You might be able to burrow down the advanced power settings...I haven't done so for years so I cannot remember if one can fine-tune the settings more to your liking.
