Thanks, we have noted it down for the next version.
Hi, the screen-off app is working very nicely but I have one small request please add any small sound indication while turning it off like any short note as indication.
Hi, The problem you are experiencing has not relevant with the program. Check the properties of your devices such as wifi in your device manager and check the power management settings.If the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is not checked, the system may not be able to fully standby.

If the devices in the device manager are fine, you can try different workarounds to solve the problem.

Hi, we have noted it. Thank you.
can you please add a feature that using hot keys to turn off the monitor? like in Keyfreeze ctrl+alt+f. i need to turn off monitor while my mouse is pointing at the middle of the screen so i need a shortcut key to run it at add a balloon that will countdown 3 seconds before it off. thank you.
Perhaps scheduled tasks could be used for this

Thanks for the quick response. I know about this setting. I need the screen off after 5 minutes of inactivity of mouse/keyboard and then to ignore mouse movements (keep screen off). I could only get the utility to execute on demand.
1. Click the _MonitorOff_Config.vbs file
2. Check the "Block Mouse wenn screen turns off" box
Web Link …
3. Use "Save Options" Button
I tried setting MonitorOff as scr, but it keeps popping the config page. Tried copying to ini file into windows\system32 to no avail. My whole point of using this utility is so a tiny movement of my mouse won’t turn on my monitor, so when I just leave the PC unattended (rather than activating utility manually) I still want mouse movements ignored. How can I achieve my goal?
Sie können die Tastenkombination Strg + Alt + Entf benutzen.
Wie kriege ich den Monitor wieder an, wenn Maus und Keyboard disabled sind?
1. Run _MonitorOff_Config.vbs
2. Untick , Mute sound when screen turns off

Hi there,
thank you for great software… is it posible to make the sound come back after the monitor is turned on? The sound goes off when I turn off the monitor, but it doesn’t come back on its own when the monitor is turned on, but later I have to turn it on manually.
Thanks,
Muki
