Hi. Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Build 22631.4460, Intel i7-11700K CPU & Radeon RX 580 video card. This update just installed Wednesday upon which the screen saver / monitor turn off has stopped working. I reset the power settings using "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes", ran "DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" & deleted / reinstalled / updated the video drivers. All of this was to no avail. No matter what setting I input, no matter what power plan is created, the screen saver will not activate at the configured time & the monitors (3) of them will not turn off at the configured time. As a last resort, I uninstalled this update which was successful and it allowed my screen saver to begin working again although the power off the monitor setting still will not work. Yesterday, I downloaded the 24H2 ISO file & installed. Upon reboot, the screen saver was working again & then updates installed bricking the screen saver again. Any other way to correct this problem other than maybe spending $$$ for a different video card???
