    Hello,

    Could you please provide a bit more detail about the situation?

    When you say that “the screen turns off automatically after clicking the file properties and the folder closes,”

    does “the screen” mean that the PC monitor itself turns off and nothing is displayed anymore?

    It seems that your screen is turning off automatically when you access file properties, which can be frustrating. This behavior might be related to the power settings in Windows. By default, Windows may turn off the display after a certain period of inactivity, especially when the PC is locked or if there are specific settings configured for power management.

    To address this issue, you can try adjusting the display timeout settings using the PowerCfg utility. Here are the commands you can use from an administrative command prompt:

    1. powercfg.exe /setacvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_VIDEO VIDEOIDLE <time in seconds> - This sets the timeout for when the PC is unlocked.
    2. powercfg.exe /setacvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_VIDEO VIDEOCONLOCK <time in seconds> - This sets the timeout for when the PC is locked.
    3. powercfg.exe /setactive SCHEME_CURRENT - This activates the current power scheme with the new settings.

    Make sure to replace <time in seconds> with your desired timeout duration. This should help prevent the screen from turning off unexpectedly when you are accessing file properties.
