Windows 10 needs monitors on always

Since I started using Display Port, Windows is intolerant of me tuing off the displays. It thinks it's been taken away never to retu or something, and scrambles all my window locations to sbrink them and arrange on the main screen.

This was seen on Win7 and now on Win10.

For some reason it won't shut down monitors as a idle-time thing. Locking leaves the Windows screen on the center monitor and the others are black but still on.

This machine won't sleep, either. When just booted and not logged init will sleep, but that's bad because upon waking it won't respond to mouse or keyboard and I have to use the reset button. Telling it to sleep or hybeate explicitly does't do good things,in part because it doesn't wait for the raid card to wake up.

So I'm not interested in making it sleep or hybeate. Just to shut off the monitors. I don't mind tuing them off manually, if only Windows would tolerate it!

I have an NVidia 970 video card.

Any suggestions on how I can tu off monitors without Windows knowing or caring?
