Win10 Pro. desktop machine (not laptop). We leave the computer on all the time.
The problem is after maybe twenty seconds or so of no user activity (mouse or keyboard) the computer screen goes blank as if it's gone into sleep mode. But, it isn't in sleep mode because the blue indicator light on the monitor is still lit. When it goes into true sleep mode the blue light goes out. I tried resetting the time before going into sleep mode, that didn't change anything. Turning off and restarting the computer has no effect on this.
It's really annoying, especially when you're composing an email or such and you stop to think. The screen does come back quickly after hitting a key.
In addition, sometime I'll come back to the computer after an hour or so and it's running a slide show of my pictures. The slide show is a new thing and not sure if there's a correlation between it and the screen blanking.
The only new program I've added recently is an update to the free version of Crap Cleaner.
Maybe I inadvertently set some function to make this happen?
