Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? I had to ring the microsoft disability desk, and tell them that it's down right disappointing how windows 10, that is supposed to care about accessibility, has gotten rid of such vital options. in short, she tried everyh=thing, but she got nowhere. unfortunately, windows 10 kept trying to force update the drivers. NVIDIA (my graphics card company) released a driver. obviously, if you call, and be a bitch about it, they may not help, but if you explain, and explain how it worked everywhere else, you will have luck. to the previous poster, intell graphics cards are pretty good with second screen, as far as I played with them.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? If you are using a mac, you can trun off your screen in windows 10, but it is complicated:1. set your display as dim as possible with f1 or fn + f12. go into the device manager and disable and reenable the display driver. This will cause the screen to go dark.3. repeat these steps when the screen gets brighter again, when plugging it in to ac power or when dialing up the brightness manually this needs to be redone. It isn't a good solution, but it works.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? I believe Jack meant the disable driver option, not uninstall it completely. In that case, Windows Update shouldn't have a reason to update them as though they had been completely removed, or to switch to a Microsoft fallback if there is even a generic enough display driver included in the system by default. In any case, I am going to try that right now and see what it does after some time.Lukas URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=339643#p339643 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? Jack, not sure if you're right. I might try that, but for example my laptop uses intel display drivers. Now, if i get rid of them it will just switch back to microsoft drivers, and it's just a matter of time until windows update updates them again.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? This is true, but it also means that your display is utterly nonfunctional to the point where you might as well have it removed and turn your system into a good old laptalk, lol! Unless you reenable the drivers, of course. If you need to do system diagnostics you can always plug in a vga/hdmi display.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? I figured it was display drivers and that it was a bug all along. Well, they shouldn't have fixed that bug, because the bug is for the greater good. Well, as a radical approach you could always disable your display drivers.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? What causes it to work for some and not for others are display drivers. On newer displays, the drivers are updated to simply fix that bug which we accidentally could use.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? I wonder what causes projecting to the second screen only to work on some systems and not others? From what I've read, this issue seems to affect more laptop than desktop users. I can confirm that it works fine on both my Windows 10 PC's. I use the same monitor for both, since I rarely, if ever, have them running simultaneously. This is also an old Del monitor which came from a long dead PC that was purchased in 2004. Does older hardware support this feature better? Or does it even have anything to do with the monitor, or something else? Curious minds want to know.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? I use the same way seb2314 does, but that is only done in my machine that runs a version of Win 10 that was not upgraded from a 7 or an 8, while on my other PC which runs Win 10 upgraded from Win 7, it lost that functionality and you can't turn off your screen at all. Try installing an original, fresh and new version of Win 10 if you have upgraded from an earlier version of Windows, since I have used both and the upgraded version does not have that feature and is, in addition, much slower then the other one.

Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10?
Re: How to turn off screen in windows 10? An extreme approach would be to purposely corrupt/remove your display driver, back it up first! but you probably wouldn't be able to use the screen preboot. If something were to go wrong, you'd probably be screwed with this approach unless you had an hdmi or vga display to connect. I know those can read prelogon messages. This would definitely be something to vote for inclusion, as there's no need to deal with the slightly increased battery drain if we don't need to use the screen.
