Portable app for turning monitor off w/ hotkey?

I'm looking for some small portable program that can turn the monitor off with a hotkey.

I used to use Monitor Off Utility, which isn't portable, but I've migrated to Win10 and the dang thing doesn't seem to work with W10. Says I need NET Framework 2.5 or higher, W10, I understand, has the latest version natively.

Forgive me here but whats wrong with setting sleep mode for the monitor after a certain amount of unused time?

Incidentally, I've done that, but for some reason it isn't working and the screensaver ain't working either, so I have to figure out what's going on there,

but regarding the need for a hotkey, I listen to audio books on the computer in the dark and do other things where I need the monitor off and the mouse will often get bumped and turn the monitor on, which is very annoying, and I like being able to turn it off instantly with a hotkey.
