Good day everyone!
I just recently installed Avast Free Antivirus and whenever my laptop is idle or when i go AFK for quite sometime, my display gets black. Its like turning off the display when my laptop is inactive for some time. I am not experiencing these prior installing Avast. I can’t find it in the settings as well. Appreciate your help.
What do you mean by " when i go AFK for quite sometime, my display gets black." ?
What operating system and avast version are you using ?
I’m using the latest regular release version of avast free and a windows 10 64bit laptop and I don’t experience anything different from my windows power settings, see attached image.
That said for the most part when leaving the laptop for a while I close the lid anyway.
For example I leave my laptop on everytime i will do something for about 10-15mins. then when i come back the display’s black. i move my mouse and my display goes back. i have my power settings to never both at battery mode and when plugged in. I am on windows 10 and latest version of Avast Free
I’m at a loss as to why this might be happening, as far as I’m aware the default installation of avast doesn’t have any battery saver settings.
There is however a paid option for Avast Battery Saver (see attached image and note the padlock), a paid function and not installed. Do you happen to have a paid version of (or the trial version) of the Avast Battery Saver ?
Check your setting and change the screen turn off time if it’s too short for you.

Check the OPs #Reply2 image as his power settings is set to never turn off the screen.
