old laptop was a dell xps 13 on win 10. I would use screenoff.exe (Download ScreenOff - MajorGeeks) to just turn off the screen. was useful if listening to music or waiting on a download on battery.
win 11 the same set up causes the laptop to sleep. annoying as pauses/interupts whatever was running and also means i have to log back in.
I’ve tried disabling windows login in (sleep - Turn off Windows screen without locking screen in Windows 11 - Super User) which doesnt stop laptop sleeping.
I’ve also tried this method (Add "Turn off display" Context Menu in Windows 11 Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum) which still bounces me to lock screen.
Has anyone got any idea what I can do to turn off the screen?
