Is this still working for you guys? for me the screen turns off then immediatley turns back on - no mouse or keyboard movements (by me)...
@Shazib
Can confirm that it works for me with Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
First of all thanks to EugeneLoy and unknown for me the author of the command :-)
Today 2.6.2023 - it works for me. Conditions - Win10 22H2. Two monitors. Both displays are turned off one time.

Cheers.
FYI I've discovered that this doesn't play nice with my monitor that supports DDC/CI control. https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray/ works though.
Thank you
To anyone looking to shut off a specific monitor and have it stay off until you physically push the monitor power button, it looks like there is a utility for it. Can even change settings by command line.

This shuts off the screen and locks the desktop. Would be nice if there was a way to just shutoff the screen.
AFAIK, the Windows OS will wake the screen on any KB or mouse event, and will bring you to the unlock screen (or desktop if security is disabled).
