I thought that it was the feature on a PDA screen to make it brighter (don't

Is there a way to query the monitor status, to know if it is on or off in C#? I found that WM_SYSCOMMAND is sent to WndProc when the monitor goes on and off but im not sure to find out if that message is always just about the monitor. Thanks for any help.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
