Strange behavior of my laptop apparently related to low power states

PabloMurillo

My laptop has been exhibiting a very annoying behavior ever since I acquired it: whenever I leave it exporting photos, videos, or running some process, as soon as the screen turns off, its performance drops drastically to the point that sometimes I come back and the tasks are entirely stopped or have made very little progress. The strange thing is that when I move the mouse and the screen turns back on, it resumes executing the task normally.

I must clarify that I always set the screen to turn off quickly, especially being this an OLED, but in general, I do not establish any power-saving settings; on the contrary, I always keep it on high performance.

I have tried configuring the power plan in many ways, even setting the minimum CPU usage to 90% (although I don't think this should be the only solution), but nothing has worked.

My computer is an Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX582, Intel I9 processor, 32GB RAM, GeForce RXT3070, and 1TB SSD. I think there is no reason for this behavior.

Any help is appreciated in advance.

According to the video, what you are experiencing is a normal behavior.
When the screen is off, the laptop will go to sleep, and the application will stop running at this time.
If you want to convert files continuously, we recommend that you set your power settings to never sleep.
For the screen protection ,it is recommended that you can refer to the following to protect the screen.
