What events are generated in the Windows System Event Log or Application Event Log when power plan turns off monitors? Can't seem to find this documented anywhere? Watching the Event Logs... power plan directive to turn off monitor does not seem to be tracked?

Hi,
You may use SleepStudy to find and fix components that cause unexpected battery drain. As explained in the doc, each SleepStudy report concludes with information about the system battery configuration. The battery size and design capacity are particularly important for SleepStudy because they are taken into account when estimating modern standby battery life.
And Windows Performance Analyzer plays second-level triage tool for Modern Standby issues that cannot be resolved by using SleepStudy.

Hope this clarifies and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

Sorry but none of these suggestions show, if any, events that are reported in the various Windows event logs. I need to find a way to find out when and how the power plan IN TOTAL is activated and deactivated in turn. Locking and unlocking is reporting, screen saver on and off is reported. It makes no sense that power plan events are not somehow reported. It appears the only power plan events that are even somewhat reported, are those relating to battery power, but that is only a small part of the total power plan. The power plan turns off the monitors, spins down disk drives, etc. None of these seem to be explicitly reported? Not that I can find so far.
