2.) What should I consider and other related tips!


As you can see, it is possible to completely prevent the screen from turning off, you can select various settings, please note that if your PC / laptop is running on battery power and it is not connected to a power source, the battery life will be reduced!

To prevent Windows 11 from turning off your screen, you can adjust the Screen Time and Power Saver settings. Here are some steps you can take:
 
Change power settings:
 
Right-click the battery icon in the taskbar and select "Power Options."
 
Select the power plan you are using (e.g. Balanced or High Performance).
Click "Change power plan settings."
 
Make sure that "Turn off displays" and "Turn off computer" are set to a sufficient amount of time before the screen or computer goes to sleep. You can adjust these times as needed.
 
 
Disable power saving mode:
 
Go to "Settings" (Win + I), select "System" and then "Power and Energy Saving."
Make sure the "Save Energy" slider is set to "Never" or another desired time value.
 
 
Prevent automatic locking:
 
Go to "Settings" (Win + I) and select "Accounts" then "Sign in Options".
Under “Login Options” you will find the screen lock settings. Make sure this is set to "Never" or a longer period of time.
 
 
Disable the screen saver:
 
Go to "Settings" (Win + I) and select "Personalization" and then "Screen Saver".
Make sure the screen saver is disabled or that the wait time before the screen saver starts is set to a high value.
These steps should help stop your screen from automatically turning off in Windows 11.

 

4.) Could it be a defective screen or something else?


Yes, it is possible that a screen that turns off unexpectedly indicates a defect or is due to other problems. Here are some possible causes of a screen that turns off unexpectedly:
 
Hardware problems: A broken screen, a damaged power cord, or a problem with other hardware components can cause the screen to turn off.
 
Driver problems: Incompatible or outdated drivers can cause problems that cause the screen to turn off.
 
Overheating: Overheating of the computer or screen may cause the device to automatically turn off to prevent damage.
 
Power saving mode: An activated power saving mode can cause the screen to turn off to save energy.
 
Software problems: Software problems, such as faulty programs or viruses, can also cause the screen to turn off unexpectedly.
 
To determine the exact cause of the screen turning off unexpectedly, it may be necessary to perform a thorough diagnosis. This may include checking hardware components, updating drivers, checking for overheating, and running antivirus scans. If the problem persists, it may be advisable to consult a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.
