This issue has been going on now for some time even before I upgraded to the latest windows update. than its stopped but continued.

The issue, I have this system monitor to shut off in 10 minutes. This happens and on time. but than the monitor pops back on with no one near it and stays on 1o minutes is past than goes off again. I though a virus, malware and I ran software for to scan for both. Noting is detected. I use windows security and Malwwarebytes paid protection.

Thanks
Dave

I discovered it was the mouse causing the issue. When I turn the mouse off the screen stays off.
