 |
|
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? |

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 |
