Chrome prevents primary display/monitor from entering sleep mode

Reported by dkan...@gmail.com, Jan 8 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: 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.
