Uefi update changing system behavior for low power mode over windows settings

[Elf_Boy]

Hi All,

About to go digging though the bios settings, hoping someone has info.

I've updated my TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI yesterday to the latest bios/uefi ver 3222 from 3067.

My system is now going into some kind of low power mode after 5 min of no use with the monitors going black and only Ctrl+Alt+Del waking it up. I checked the windows power settings and they are still set correctly. I am assuming there has been a change in the default uefi settings for my board as Asus resets to all defaults after each update.

Anyone have a guess what setting it is? Or what is going on?

Strange as it seems I think I've identified the system issues being related to Icue and 3Planesoft Screen Savers.

Perhaps the bios changes triggered something ?

Something in the new firmware is definitely not playing well with 3planesoft. The default Windows Screen savers work as expected. All the 3Planesoftones go to a black screen now.

Are there any microcode security fixes between the old and new? Perhaps 3planesoft was doing something funky? You know... a quantum 10 dimensional virus or something. (sorry 3 body problem reference couldn't be helped)
