Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open chrome in windows 10 on system with 2 displays 2. Set power management to turn off display after 1 minute 3. Wait 1.5 minutes 4. Run powercfg -ENERGY from admin command line, look for an error caused by chrome What is the expected behavior? Both displays should shut off after user-programmable period of time. What went wrong? Chrome apparently ignores Windows requests and somehow keeps both monitors awake. Current workaround is to: (1)run "powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS chrome.exe AWAYMODE DISPLAY SYSTEM" from admin command line, which disables Chrome's ability to keep the system awake. or (2) quit chrome before leaving workstation I believe this problem also impacts single display systems. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84 Channel: n/a OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: This bug has apparently been around for several years.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with chrome #63.0.3239.84 and on latest stable #66.0.3359.181 as per steps mentioned in the comment #0 Observed that after 1 min both monitors went into sleep. dkanter@ Could you retry the same scenario on latest stable with clean profile (no apps & Extensions) and let us know your observations. |
