Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and I'm facing a really frustrating issue. My main monitor, which is one of two monitors I use, keeps turning on and off whenever I watch videos on platforms like Facebook or YouTube Shorts, or just generally scroll through video content. This problem never happened before the upgrade to Windows 11. I've already ruled out the cable and the drivers as the culprits. It seems to only happen when I switch tabs to a video or scroll through video feeds. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm really at my wit's end here!

It sounds like your monitor might be set to a sleep mode that activates when it detects video content. Check your display settings to see if it's configured to sleep after a certain time period. If that's not the case, it could be a bug with Windows 11 specifically related to video playback.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check those settings out and see if there’s any sleep timer set up. It’s just odd that it happens immediately when I switch to a video.
