Since beginning to use Brave for Windows a month ago, I noticed a few instances where Windows 10 wasn’t activating the screensaver and later turning off my screens, as I have set.
Each time running ‘powercfg -requests’ in the Command Prompt as admin revealed Brave to be the culprit. Restarting Brave temporarily fixes the issue.

i stumbled upon your thread when i was posting my own Brave bug thread.
i couldn’t single out what was wrong as my Windows 10 pc also would not go into the screensaver/turning the screen off mode in the last several weeks, which after reading your thread, coincides most likely with me starting to use with Brave!
i think there is a Brave bug that doesn’t allow screens to turn off, or, the screens would turn off and within half a second, turn right back on.
unlike your situation, however, mine is happening non-stop, i.e. the screen going black can NEVER happen ever since i started using Brave.
hope someone can find the bug and correct it. thank you.
Interesting that this bug is intermittent for me and constant for you.
Normally only video or audio actively playing in a web browser will prevent screensaver and sleep activity, IME. Naturally I’ve discounted that with this my issue in Brave. Brave devs: I wonder is there a way to specifically identify the Brave process that is preventing sleep?
