Computer not automatically turning on monitor

I've tried googling this, but all it's giving is when people's monitors won't turn on at all.

I'm having problems with having to manually turn it on each time Which is getting annoying.. as i always if possible turn off my computer before bed, occasionally i may set it to hibernate if i need to get right back into things

I know it's not a thing with the monitors themselves (or the connecting cord since it did it's job just fine with the previous pc i was using while mine was being fixed) as it's a thing thats happened with multiple monitors, this one is technically a tv since it's currently connected in the living room

(which is even more tedious when the tv doesnt have it's own buttons and when you turn it on it always switches to the little "ONN remote streaming" box thingy so i have to switch channels too.

I'm hoping it's a simple fix of a setting being hard to find, but i'm not so sure.

Windows 10 (pro), latest version i think..22H2 os build 19045.4291

I'm not sure what else to give that is relevant

I have some experience/intuition with computers but i wouldn't totally say i fully trust myself doing many things without secondary input.

    Hi, LuvaiZ

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Based on your description, I understand that your Windows 10 is not turning on the monitor.

    First of all I would suggest you to try to fix this problem by not powering off the monitor and keeping it on:

    There is a power switch for the monitor on the side of the monitor. If you turned off the monitor's power switch the last time you shut down the computer. You will need to manually power on the monitor the next time you turn it on. Conversely, if you don't close it. The monitor will light up by itself when you turn on the computer.

    You can also try to adjust the monitor's power on mode: enter the monitor's engineering mode and change the auto power option to on. the way to enter the engineering mode varies from brand to brand. You can ask your monitor manufacturer's technical support staff.

    If you are sure that there is nothing wrong with your monitor and connecting cables，I recommend trying a clean boot which starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It can be used to determine whether a background service or program is interfering or causing a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step.

    Then reinstall the monitor driver, which requires you to contact the monitor device supply vendor.

    Wish you solve the trouble soon!
