For anyone with this problem

after a few days and hours of trying and searching, i found a solution though linustechtips forum.

It seems that its something USB related/connected.

someone on Linus forums said that after unplugging his joystick, the timeout for his screens started working again...

so i unplugged my Xbox controller and within 1min. my screens went off as they should :)

so i guess that something is not working as it should in windows, and the reason for only a few having this problem is that they are using some sort of joystick/controller and it keep windows 'Active' somehow  

Hope this will help a bit :)
