Is there some keyboard shortcut/setting/separate program for Windows 10 that allows you to put a specific monitor to sleep?

The situation is as follows: there are two or more simultaneously working monitors for work, at the moment when I want to conditionally watch a movie / play something, I need only 1 monitor. Is there some keyboard shortcut/setting/separate program for Windows 10 that allows you to put a specific monitor to sleep without unplugging it?
PS There is no such magic button on the monitor itself, but the monitor itself naturally knows how to sleep when the entire system goes into sleep mode.

I don’t know what you need, but for me
Win + P brings up a window in which you can quickly select the monitor mode without turning off the power

Well, in short, from the standard methods, the easiest option is the Win + P key , and select the main monitor / expand screens (both monitors), so the second monitor (monitor numbering can be set in the screen settings in the Windows settings) goes to sleep.
It's a little weird, I hope I get used to it. If someone finds something even simpler, please post it here
PS this method has a minus: any windows open on the 2nd monitor will hopelessly be dumped on the first monitor, even if they are not touched

All normal utilities like display fusion and actual multiple monitors have an inactive monitor dimming mode. I won’t tell you about the first one, in the second one you can fine-tune which windows open on which monitor, and much more. Their only minus, apart from being paid, is a bunch of settings that you need to figure out.
