I want a script that will tell if the keyboard/mouse has been inactive for 10 minutes and then shut the monitor off with 'Run "C:\Windows\nircmd.exe" monitor off'. The reason i want to do this instead of using the built in feature of windows, is because I want to set it up so it will detect if youtube is open, and if it is, then the monitor won't go off.

Perfect. I used the following code to achieve what I want.

Code:

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckIdle, 60000 ; Check every 1 minute
return

CheckIdle:
if A_TimeIdle >= 600000 ; after 10 minutes idle time
{
  IfWinExist, YouTube
  {
    
  }
  else
  {
    Run "C:\Windows\nircmd.exe" monitor off ; Puts monitor into standby mode
  }
}
return

You must have nircmd for this to work.
