[Post-Install] Logged out screen weirdness.......

[fatbloke]

So, a couple of weekends back, I was doing my 25.10 updates (which completed). Then I was offered the 26.04 LTS upgrade - which I accepted, followed the prompts and left it to do it's thing.

Now, when I log off/out, I get back to the login screen/page ok, but my monitor doesn't drop back to standby/hibernate/sleep or whatever it's called. The login boxes do disappear, but the background screen remains. The only way I can manage it is to either hit the sleep or hibernate options, or of course, hit the off button on the monitor itself.

I did a bit of a search, but that said about it being managed by SDDM, which should be in the settings, but it's not. None of the suggested stuff shows up on my system as far as I can work out.

Any guidance is much appreciated........

Did you already try the following things in System Settings?

• check your Screen Locking (section: Security & Privacy) settings
• check your Power Management (section: System) settings
• [Apply Plasma Settings…] (button at the top) in -> Colours & Themes (section Appearance & Style) -> Login Screen (SDDM)
