Mac mini display won't sleep

I have a M2 Mini driving a studio display. I set the Lock Screen settings to turn display off after 3 minutes.


Display won't turn off.


Then I turn off Bluetooth (connect keyboard and mouse via cable) and the display sleeps as it should.


Turn Bluetooth back on => no sleep.

Mac mini, macOS 15.3

What make and model are the keyboard and mouse..?


This sounds like a faulty keyboard key or a faulty mouse click/sensor, that is creating continuously input activity and preventing display off.


To figure out which one, you will need un-pair them from the bluetooth one at a time and test.


Another thing that I would test, is "Turn display off... at 10 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
