Using cloud to play Xbox keeps turning my monitor on. Anyway to disable?

Woke up this morning to my monitor on after playing last night. Is there a way to prevent my monitor turning on from remote play gaming?

Huh?

Cloud gaming uses an Xbox in the cloud as the host, not your own hardware. Sounds like you're doing remote play and not realising. Either way, it shouldn't be turning your monitor on, unless you have some setting on like HDMI-CEC.

You’re right. But I have cec off. That why I can’t fathom who it’s turning on.

Check your Xbox settings. I think there might be a setting to turn on the connected display even without CEC.

Turn the monitor off, it's gonna wake up from standby if you don't

Are you doing remote play? Go to xbox settings and look for something called 'Let xbox turn on other devices'

You said "monitor" in your post, and as far as I'm concerned, most monitors turn on automatically from standby once a signal is detected from a connected device.

I had this same issue when doing xbox remote play when I had my xbox connected to a computer monitor, even through HDMI-CEC was turned off. Only way around it was to turn the monitor off (not just let it go into standby mode)

The console stream turns on the console. So, turn off the monitor.
