There are several methods to set the time to turn off the screen on a Dell computer, which mainly depend on the settings of the Windows operating system. Due to differences in Dell computer models and operating system versions, the specific steps may vary, but the general process is similar. Method 1: Set up through the system
1. Open Settings: - Click the "Start" button in the bottom left corner of the desktop, and select the "Settings" icon (usually a gear shaped icon) from the pop-up menu.
2. Enter power and sleep settings: - In the "Settings" window, click on the "System" option- In the left menu of system settings, find and click on "Power and Sleep" (which may appear as "Power and Battery" or similar names in some versions).
3. Set screen off time: - On the right side of the "Power and Sleep" settings, you will see the "Turn off monitor" or "Screen off time" options under the "Screen" section- Click the dropdown arrow next to this option and select a time you want the screen to turn off, such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. This time represents the time interval during which the screen will automatically turn off without any operation.
4. Save Settings: - After selecting the time, the settings will usually be automatically saved. Some interfaces may require you to click on "Save Changes" or similar buttons to confirm settings. Method 2: Use power management software (if installed)
Some Dell computers may come pre installed with power management software such as Dell Power Manager, which allows you to set the screen turn off time.
1. Open the power management software: - Find the icon of the power management software (which may be a battery shaped icon) in the notification area (system tray) at the bottom right corner of the desktop, click on it or right-click and select "Open" to start the software.
2. Set screen off time: - In the power management software, find the setting options related to screen off time. The specific location may vary depending on the software version, but it can usually be found under "Battery Settings," "Power Plan," or similar menus- Follow the software prompts to select a suitable time interval as the screen off time.
3. Save Settings: - Follow the software prompts to save your settings. Some software may require you to click the "Apply" or "OK" button to confirm the changes. matters needing attention
-The setting of screen turn off time is not equivalent to computer sleep or hibernation settings. The screen turning off only turns off the display function of the monitor, while the computer is still running.
-If you want your computer to enter sleep mode even after the screen is turned off, you need to make additional settings in the "Sleep" section of the "Power and Sleep" settings.
-Different versions of Windows operating systems and Dell computer models may have different settings interfaces and options, but the general steps are similar. If you encounter any problems during the setup process, it is recommended to refer to the user manual of your Dell computer or visit the Dell official website for more detailed guidance.
