Another Noob Question
 

Hello. When I have to AFK longer than a few minutes, I come back to a dark screen and I can't see. I can hear the game sounds but the screen has gone dark. I have been having to restart my PC and log back in to resume play. Is there a reason that this happens or is there a setting that can be changed so this doesn't happen or is there a key or combination of keys to push so I can make that dark screen go away?

Thanks in advance.

Try Alt + enter

Thanks I will try that next time it happens!

I experience something similar with the power saving option that turns off my monitor after a set amount of time. But just moving the mouse or hitting any key reactivates the monitor.

alt+enter will make you go Fullscreen/Exit Fullscreen and that sometimes crashes the game, at least on my PCs. But it could help.

I would check the energy options for my monitor and set them for a longer time.
