Is there any way to disable the fade to black effect when Windows enters standby state? I have a tablet PC and when I press the power button I want the screen to turn off immediately, not showing me some silly animation that gives me the impression of being SLOW.

Edited the question. Who downvoted me? wth?! – friederbluemle – 2012-01-22T02:08:57.607
It was not me, but one of the reasons for downvoting is that it shows no research effort. Perhaps that is the case here. – soandos – 2012-01-22T02:48:22.183
Possible duplicate: http://superuser.com/questions/149215/how-do-i-disable-the-fade-out-fade-in-effect-when-unlocking-a-windows-7-workstat although that one is about fading in not out, but answer should be the same: not possible.

Also I did some research before asking the question but couldn't find anything directly related. Anyway, I expected that there is no easy way to do this. – friederbluemle – 2012-01-22T04:17:16.477
I've also been interested in disabling the fade effect. I currently have UAC set to "do not dim my desktop". – iglvzx – 2012-01-24T19:18:24.740
This setting only affects whether or not your desktop will be greyed out (=temporarily unresponsive to mouse events) when a UAC prompt pops up. – friederbluemle – 2012-01-24T19:40:29.640
