I use a Asus laptop with Windows 10.
I usually use VDJ's Automix and when I leave it playing music I want the screen to turn off automatically after a minute to save battery. Or at least start the windows screen saver.
I can't find a way to do either of these
Do you have a solution??

create a black image the full size of your screen, save it in a sample bank and once your automix starts trigger the black screen sample. Black pixels use less power.

No, there's not and it's this way for a reson.
VirtualDJ actually uses a flag on purpose that tells your OS to prevent the screen from going off.
Why ? Because it's a DJ software. It's not meant to be used solely as a Jukebox.
Therefore 99,99999% of users actually WANT their screen to never go off while using VirtualDJ.

Actually, there is a way to make this process Automatic.
Create a Black image at your screen resolution.
Create a folder on your desktop and place the image in the folder.
(make sure nothing else is in the folder just your black image.)
Now activate your VDJ video output.
Select the SlideShow option. Set it as "source for audio-only tracks" and turn the toggle on.
Make sure in the side panel you set your directory to the one that has only your black image in it.
Now anytime your Automix has an audio track playing, it will automatically load the black image file and hold it and boom your screen is now black.
This will also work for any graphic or video file. So if you wanted a screen saver one to load just place it in the created subfolder. A black screen will use the least amount of energy. I would also turn down the screen brightness to reduce it even further.
(This will however leave the system open and anyone can access it. Currently, VDJ has no way to LOCK the PC from access when you step away. It would be a very helpful feature, for when working alone and need to step away while keeping the show going, but still protecting access to VDJ features and personal audio files.)
You could set your lock screen to a black image and use the WIN+L to lock the PC but this would not be automatic, but would secure the PC while you step away. However, it also disables the video output if using a monitor (as a note)
Enjoy!
I would also add that while YES VDJ is obviously DJ software, anyone is allowed to use it for any purpose. So if your only purpose is as a JukeBox then wow VDJ would be one perfect JukeBox software.
You could also use VDJ Software connected to a monitor to display advertisements and video files with no speakers attached at all. While it is called Virtual DJ, it is really a powerful MEDIA Playing software that can be used for any media purpose, even not for DJing.

You can lock down the SW from unwanted hands,
you could have a blank skin and a keyboard mapper that only has 1 script with a unusual key combo
and the action, switches skin and mapping
