I have this weirdo: if I set more than 10 minutes as the timeout for turning
off my screen, it won't work. With 11 or more minutes the screen stays on
forever, while it turns off regularly with 10 minutes or less.

I can set the timeout either in Control Panel/Power options, or in the
Settings/System/Power and battery section, whatever, the result is the same.
It doesn't make any sense.

Where should look to find a solution?

Tnx.

I would have to guess, you have installed a "tweaker" software
or some active software of some sort, which is interested
in the same setting, as the regular OS screen sleep control.
That's the only thing that comes to mind.

This article, mentions that as Administrator, you c run:

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/screen-wont-turn-off-after-specified-time

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

then attempt to set the screen interval back to 20 minutes
and see what happens.

When you play a video, the video player can assert a power control
which keeps the screen running. A movie will play for two hours,
without the screen going black, and without moving the mouse to
keep it awake. That is an example of a feature that blocks sleep
or suspend.

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. At a price: it wiped off all
combinations except the "Balanced" one in Control Panel/Power Options, while
it seems that I can still select other options (Best efficiency or
performance) via Settings/System/Power and battery.

Anyway, curiosity still remain about what kind of software interference could
decide that I can't wait any longer than 10 minutes to see my screen turn
blank. So weird.
