I followed the advice of numerous tutorials to enable the "Console lock display off time-out" setting in advanced power options, and I have changed my currently active plan to time out after 1 minute on the lock screen:

Advanced power settings

My problem is, it simply doesn't seem to work. I press OK, then press WinKey+L to lock the display, yet the monitor doesn't turn off after one minute. Is there some AD policy that could be overriding this, and if so, how do I check what that policy is set to? Or why else might it not be working? I even tried restarting the machine but to no avail; the problem persists.

⚠ If Turn off display after is set to Never, it will also prevent Console lock display off timeout from turning off the display.

Console lock timeout is intended to only lock the session, the same thing as pressing W-L. The screen sleep time is different.
