There's this one which sits in the tray http://www.dekisoft.com/mou.php Download standalone version and change settings to save cfg file in program folder to make it portable. Has option to configure hotkey combination.

Compile an AutoHotKey script to do the same thing. This one by default is Winkey + \ https://gist.github.com/davejamesmiller/1965854

Create shortcut key with any program with this method http://www.ghacks.net/2011/06/07/creati ... s-machine/ and use it with any of these one click turn monitor off programs http://sourceforge.net/projects/turnoffmonitor/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/doff/ or http://www.thewindowsclub.com/screenoff ... top-screen. Same method with NirCmd http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html and with path “C:\path\to\nircmd.exe” cmdwait 1000 monitor off

Some of these don't need any extra runtimes like http://www.thewindowsclub.com/screenoff ... top-screen The article on it even says it doesn't require .NET and how to make a hotkey for it.

Also Win10 3.5/2.0 .NET is an optional feature you can enable. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn windows features on or off > tick box for ".NET Framework 3.5(includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0). Alternatively use Start Menu search and type "windows features" or even find C:\Windows\System32\OptionalFeatures.exe and run that directly.

Of course. .NET 3.5 is disabled by default in Windows 8 and above precisely because it needs a lot of disk space. On enabling, Windows needs to download .NET from Microsoft.
