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

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.
