THANK YOU! I tried everything and for some reason, this was the only setting I hadn't changed...and it worked perfectly!

Thanks, but my screen still turns off after 3 mins. I set it to 20 mins, then 30, then never. I've changed power plans, & changed the Advanced settings you show. Still, the display goes black after 3 mins.

i have my pc plugged into a tv. if i pause what i'm doing, lets say i'm gaming, and go do something for 5/10 minutes, my tv is black with the message "no hdmi input found" displayed on the screen. when i shake the mouse or press a key the computer seems to wake itself up and the tv suddenly starts receiving a signal again. unfortunately however the sound is gone for the game i was playing and i either have to restart the game or play without sound from then on. when i'm playing on a console(also plugged in to an hdmi slot) i don't get this problem so i'm confident it isn't the tv. everything was already set to never but it still switches itself into what i'm asuming is sleep mode. any ideas? honestly the issue with the sound is the only actual problem, it going into sleep mode isn't an issue by itself.
