Windows – Turn off display in Windows on command

command linedisplaywindowswindows 7

Is there a way to turn off the display in Windows (7), preferably without using additional software?

Powershell script works fine, but leaves command-line window after turning on the display.

Best Answer

On a laptop you can use the keyboard shortcut combination of Fn+F7 (F7 might differ depending on the laptop model) and for a desktop you can always use the power button.

Do you need any other specifications such as wake up on mouse movement or something else?

You can always create a shortcut and assign a keyboard shortcut to a black screensaver, use this path: 

%systemroot%\system32\scrnsave.scr /s

This will not turn off you screen but make it completely black
