    @Trenton-Lawson, maybe the video card or monitor, but it might even be the motherboard because of what you told me about the keyboard and mouse flashing.

      NirCMD (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) can do this with a single command: nircmd.exe monitor off

            @raeyatd, for that to work, you'd need to have a 😧 drive with a scripts folder in the root of it, and you'd need to create the key.vbs file. If you don't have a 😧 drive, you could use your 😄 drive.

            These are the contents of that key.vbs for quick reference:

            Dim Wsh
            Set Wsh = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
            Wsh.SendKeys "{" + WScript.Arguments.Item(0) +"}"

              I have more than one monitor, can you choose which one to turn off?

                @Rhadson-Matias, I don't know of any tools that can turn specific monitors off. I'll have to do some research.

                At first I thought you were asking if you can shutdown a second computer. For that you could say something like this:

                Alexa, turn off power on laptop.

                Power is the voice word for the command on the computer with laptop as its voice word.

                  @Russ Hii, did you find a way to turn a specific monitor off? Or at least just a second screen?

                    "Enable/disable/configure multiple monitors on Windows"
                    https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html

                    MultiMonitorTool.exe /disable \.\DISPLAY3

                    And, for single monitors, my comment from a year ago still works.
