Switch your display cables, I can never remember if it’s display port or HDMI that doesn’t do this, but you’ve just landed on the wrong one.
It’s cos when they switch off, the desktop workspace reduces to an old limit in windows (800×600 minimum desktop?). So all the windows are therefore reduced to that. For some silly reason the display spec included disconnection on sleep mode (not power off!).
You may be able to tweak the monitor settings, too, but I’d start with figuring out if you’re using HDMI or DP and try getting the other cable
