Until the recent Windows updates (currently on 20H2) my monitors would turn off after my set delay and stay off. No longer. Now, they turn off and within a few seconds, turn back on.

I have found this is due to the Microsoft USB Dual Receiver I use with my Microsoft wireless keyboard. If I remove that dongle, my screen stays off. If I keep it plugged in, the screen will turn on shortly after turning off, again.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. I have also tried turning off any "wake" activities for the dongle in device manager. But in device manager there is no power management tab to do this. I have done the same for the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Detection Driver. Uninstalled and reinstalled... tried to turn off any wake functions.

For the USB hub devices, where I looked next, I see that "Allow this device to wake the computer" is not only not selected, but it's grayed out so I can't select/unselect it if I wanted to:

I would really like to get back to where I was many weeks ago before the latest updates (I've had the same hardware for many months, well before the updates, and no issues with it). My screen should turn off (not sleep mode, just the screen turning off) and stay off until I move my mouse, for example... I'm OK disabling wake from the keyboard, and is what I've been trying to do! But nothing works.

Last point is that I'm running Microsoft Windows 10 on a Microsoft Surface Book 2 with a Microsoft Keyboard and a Microsoft mouse. The reason I decided to get all Microsoft items was to avoid such issues. Seems Microsoft should test things... that they manufacture! Is that too much to ask? :-)
