How to turn off screen with PowerShell?
I need to be able to turn off my screen instantly manually.
I tried powercfg /change monitor-timeout-ac 0, but looks like setting the value to 0 turns it to never. Values like 0.1 also change it to never.
Is there any way I can set this value to 0 minutes, or is there another command that i can use to turn off my screen manually?
