Hi, is it somehow possible to use the converter to get kind of API access of turn on / off monitor from a UWA?

Is there any update on this?

Hi @iqmeta and @Narnain, There is no direct API access in Windows to turn off the display. Rather like your desktop/laptop this is controlled by a power aware driver in combination with system settings in the OS. However, you could certainly build a custom driver that allowed an application the ability to turn the screen off but that would bot be built in to windows. Sincerely, IoTGirl
