According to some of our users, they are unable to witness the option that says “Turn Off The Display ” This happens because your system is on Modern Standby mode, we can confirm this mode on command prompt by the following steps:
- Launch Command prompt with the administrative rights. You can enter CMD on the Cortana search.
- In the cmd box enter powercfg -a and hit enter.
- If there is Standby, that means there is Modern Standby and beside this you can also see other options are not available.
Now as you know your system is on Modern Standby you can add “Turn Off Display” on windows 10 by the following steps:
- Launch Windows Registry by pressing Win key and R and then enter “regedit”

“Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power”
