Hi.
Yes, the windows+p thing should work on win7. If it's a laptop, you
wanna do this when ever you have a chance anyway it provides a dramatic
increase in battery life. My Asus t100 tablet doubles in battery life
from 11 hours to over 20 hours. My Yoga 2 pro laptop goes from 6 hours
to about 10. Not all are that extreme.
This feature is removed in stock win10 drivers. If your driver for
windows 8.1 or 7 will agree to install under win10 you may be able to
get the functionality back. My yoga2pro loses this ability every time I
let it upgrade to a new windows 10, so I use the vga driver installer
that was in the lenovo partition when I got it. That works but I have to
set windows not to install drivers automatically or else it promptly
updates the driver and breaks it again.
The issue is that they made it smart enough to know there's not a second
screen, so it doesn't ask you if you really want to do it anymore. Back
in the old days, it would just do it then show a message allowing you to
confirm that you could still read it, you would click yes or if it had
gone black on you, as a sighted user you'd just panick for 30 seconds or
so then it would automagically revert back since you never clicked yes.
Really annoying to be honest, if I could turn the screen off on this
Think Pad t480s I imagine I'd be getting upwards of 15 hours of battery
pretty easily.

Hi Leonard,
If you're running Windows 10 & Jaws 2018 there's a feature called, Screen
Shade, which darkens the screen so others can't see it. This feature uses a
layered keystroke. The keystroke for the desktop layout is:
Insert / Jaws key & Spacebar, let-up then press, the Print Screen button.
This is a toggle keystroke, so it will turn the Screen Shade feature on &
off.
Take Care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

looking at the screen. Thanks.
