PC Monitor Switches off After Updating to Windows 11 - Resolved Issue

My PC monitor was switching off intermittently following being attached to a new (Windows 11) PC.

Intel updates were offering an upgrade to the Graphic Display.

— But actually, this made no difference!

What I did discover was that the culprit was this EON power saver plug.




I used this power saver plug on my previous PC without issue. The main plughole carries the power supply for the PC, while the two side plugholes carry the power for the speakers and monitor. The idea is that when the PC is powered off, power is automatically cut to the speaker and to the monitor. Saving you the hassle of remembering to turn them off yourself.

However, the new PC is even more power-conscious and barely uses power. I haven't tested how much, but suffice it to say that when the PC was doing not a lot but still powered up, it was tricking the EON plug to power off the two side attachments, speaker and monitor.

Remove EON Saver plug from the configuration. Case solved.
