Anyone know why when I lock my computer, my monitor immediately goes into standby, and is there a way to change that?

Wipe it and install Windows 7?

have you made a trip to your power options??? Please verify settings.

Quite a few times. Nothing seems to work. My monitor is set to go off after 45 minutes, when the computer is set to sleep after idling, but I see nothing about the lock screen.

did you check the bios settings?

On a more serious note, go to device manager and see if the driver is installed. Go to the manufacture's website too and get the driver. Has it just started doing this or has it done so since day one?

My secondary monitor goes into standby when I lock, but not the primary one, it stays on until it is set to hibernate. I have my power settings at max performance as a baseline and set "turn monitor off" to 20 minutes. I have hibernate set to 30 minutes.

Your monitor goes off after 1min when you are on the lockscreen. This is made by design and it's not a "bug".

If you want to keep it always on, you need to set the monitor to never sleep inside the power settings menu (inside the control panel).

Actually, I never install manufacturer drivers for monitors. They've always screw things up with OS settings, and HP's drivers have always screwed up my color settings by installing and defaulting to their own junk ICM pallets. But the OS recognizes my main monitor as a HP w2207.

It's also been doing this since day 1, even on the CP.

i think you misunderstood, he meant main manufacturer aka Nvidia or AMD, not OEM manufacturer

Doesn't look like there is official (driver) support for it. Maybe call HP or post on their forums when support will be availible?

His graphics drivers? I'm very sure he has those.

Hey dot!

Is your mobo drivers up to date? lol

[Dot Matrix]

Yes, my graphics drivers are up to date.

[+remixedcat]

Not a bug, it's working as designed.

Didn't see anything in there. I don't have a screensaver set. But it's odd given you now have notifications on the lock screen, but no one is ever going to see them with the screen going off like that. Plus, it makes it harder to admire the picture I have set as the background.
