Screen turns off after 1-5 minutes after using Process Lasso

[evilthecat13]

Briefly used Process Lasso for a game, uninstalled it and noticed that I can't even see my screensaver because my screen turns off if I don't do anything for 1-5 minutes. I don't know what to do. I tried changing the power profile back to balanced, which, on my Win11 settings, is set to never turn off my screen, no matter what. So, this has been a bit frustrating because I don't know what I did besides follow instruction in some guide to make Elden Ring run better (spoiler alert: it didn't).

Can anyone help me restore the way my screen works like it was before I installed this program?

It's definitely related to the switch of your power profile, as Process Lasso doesn't otherwise change those settings. You tried what I would have suggested: Switching back to Balanced. You may also want to re-enter one of the Power Modes in the Windows Power Options. That selection should be there if you're in Balanced.

I'm SO sorry! I found out it was a Win11 app called Lively Wallpaper. I thought it was Process Lasso because of it's ability to override power profiles.

You learn something new everyday, be it willingly or not.

No problem, glad you figured it out and thanks for reporting back!
