Sometimes I like to lie down in bed and watch a show or movie from my phone before bed (yes, I know it's usually not great for you but meh) and I'm having a problem that seems to come and go almost randomly . I would like to solve it forever.

For some reason, Kodi sometimes prevents my monitor from respecting downtime as specified in my Windows power plan settings. I can set the sleep option in the Kodi settings but it is a minimum of 5 minutes and I really prefer to have only the power plan settings take care of everything. As my PC has to be in my room, this is a bit inconvenient. Also, for whatever reason, turning off my LG monitor seems to disconnect it as much as Windows is concerned and drops me to a single-monitor desktop layout.

Is there a setting that is missing somewhere in Kodi or Windows that will take care of this problem? I know this is an extremely minor drawback at best, but I'm hoping there is a solution.

1. Incorrect power configuration: The problem can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the Windows power plan. The power plan can be set to prevent the monitor from turning off when the PC is idle for a period of time.2. Kodi Setting: Kodi itself has a setting that can prevent your PC monitor from turning off while it is running. This may be necessary, for example, if you are using Kodi to play a slideshow at an event.3. Problems with video drivers: The problem can also be caused by problems with the video drivers. This can happen if the display driver doesn't support the monitor shutdown feature. How to Solve the Problem There are several ways to solve the problem of Kodi preventing the PC monitor from turning off.
