Since this is a new thread, I guess i'll ask here again:

Anyone find a fix for Windows 10 not putting monitors to sleep?

Ya this is the only problem I'm having with Windows 10 right now. I've found that my monitor will turn off if I'm signed out however. It's not a perfect solution but it'll do until they fix it.

edit: Just tried uninstalling Teamviewer, no change.

This.

For people coming from 8.1, it's an improvement with the exception of bugs and missing features that they've promised to add in later. For people coming from 7, it's a lot more hit and miss.

Edit:
New cumulative update: KB3081436

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3081436

Nice, this tried to install, then said "Unable to complete update,, undoing changes" and restarted 4-5 times.

Ok I managed to get KB3081436 to install properly, I had to do the fix that some had to do to get KB3081424 to work, which was using regedit and going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and deleting an errant profile.

Other than that Windows 10 has been pretty good.

Fixed what was causing my monitor to stay on despite my power settings, turns out its the "HID-compliant game controller" causing the problem. Disabled it and now everything works.
