I am playing a Microsoft game and every time I go away for a few min the screen would turn off but then the PC hangs when I move the mouse or from keyboard.

So I am trying to edit the power plan so that it won't do that anymore with the below request but it is not working.

POWERCFG /REQUESTSOVERRIDE Process Game.exe Display

I also tried with other processes like wmplayer.exe.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

why not just set them with a mouse?

If anyone faced this issue and solved it then let me know.

Not interested in alternative solutions unless they include 3rd party tools.
