Hi,

I'm using this keycommand to turn off my monitors:

^1::
Sleep, 200
SendMessage,0x112,0xF170,2,,Program Manager
return


It works, but only for a few seconds. After a few seconds the monitors are switched on again.

Any ideas why this is?

If you are not pressing a key or moving mouse then there is an application that possibly does this.

Higher values for sleep don't make a difference.
Any idea how to find out which application triggers the pc to turn on the monitors again?

That is very likely the answer. Why not try starting windows with the absolute minimum programs and see if the monitor will stay off. Then you can start adding programs until you find the culprit
