patseguin Global Moderator Posted July 28, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2018 OK this may be a REALLY dumb question. I'm on the latest insider build. In power settings I have screen set to turn off 30 minutes, sleep never. This is a desktop PC, plugged in obviously. Why does my PC put itself to sleep even though I have the option disabled?

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted July 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2018 I thought this was irl life question. My mistake... Make sure you look up Power Management along with Screensaver settings. patseguin and fusi0n 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrynalyne Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 13 minutes ago, patseguin said: I did. Think it might be something in bios? Unlikely. It’s most likely a setting you missed in power management (be sure to check advanced settings) or it’s possible that the UI is no longer connected to the “backend” which means you might want to set the settings yourself with powercfg. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/powercfg-command-line-options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Obvious answer, maybe it's an insider build bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 30, 2018 Supervisor Share Posted July 30, 2018 do you have hibernate enabled? that might be triggering and not actually sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted August 7, 2018 Veteran Share Posted August 7, 2018 Have you gone into the Advanced Power options to look through those? Maybe also go through the Event Viewer logs, I've never personally looked for sleep events but I'd be amazed if there wasn't something in there to log the reason as to why. If you go All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings There are a few more things to configure under there that I guess could potentially be doing this?
