I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 on the 29th. At that time my system would go to standby sleep without and issue. Since the big day, I can only get it to sleep by using the sleep option on the shut down or sign out drop down.
I have reinstalled my graphics card drivers. I have also reinstalled my network adapter and deselected the option in power management to "allow this device to wake the computer".
Everytime I reboot my monitor says Monitor is going to sleep, then logo from Dell then boots, been doing this for a year, I use no sleep functions in power options,
View 1 RepliesI can't remember when and how this started, but definitely after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Pro.So, my screen (Acer LCD, connected to GTX 560 with 1 meter DVI cable) started going black (power light on, background light completely off) when I watched a video that had lot of dark on it. Happens in some games as well where the cut scenes change.
I tested it by full screening a plain black image and the screen went to sleep, mouse cursor dissapeared.Moving the mouse does not wake up the screen, only when i press Win key to bring up some color to the screen. (the task bar seems to be enough to wake the screen.)I have checked all the power settings and turned off all the sleep settings, 'Turn off display after' is set to 'Never' 'Multimedia settings' are set to ' Prevent idling ' and 'Optimize video quality'
I just changed from DVI to HDMI and now when I shutdown my computer my monitor will not enter sleep mode, and will display 'Cable Not Connected' as shown in the image attached.
View 2 RepliesThe computer goes to sleep after a period of inactivity, when mouse or keyboard is used the tower starts up but the monitor won't. I've gone into Device Manager and made sure mouse and keyboard will wake machine, but alas, no monitor. Must reboot every time.
View 3 RepliesSince upgrading from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10, my monitor/display on my desktop will no longer go to sleep/turn off after the scheduled 5 minutes. I had no issues with this in Windows 7. I have updated the BIOS, video drivers, USB wireless mouse driver and anything that could be related and no change. All i want is for the monitor to turn off after the set time. I don't use a screensaver. There is no driver update for the monitor (Viewsonic VX2450). I've also tried uninstalling the monitor driving and reinstalling but no change. Seems like the system also will not sleep when set to sleep.
View 3 RepliesI set monitor to turn off after 15 minutes and computer to sleep after 3 hours, none of that works unless i disconnect game controller, than it works perfectly. is there any way to solve this or i just to wait for microsoft to release some kind of update?
View 1 RepliesI'm running my audio via HDMI from my graphics card and it plays through the speakers built into my monitor.
When I first did the Win 10 update I had no audio whatsoever, and followed some suggestions on online forums that lead me to disable the Realtek High Definition Audio which I did and upon a reboot- my HDMI audio was working.
But then I had another weird issue. My PC is set to never sleep as I use it as a media server, but my screens turn off automatically after 10 minutes. What im finding is that when I wake up my monitors the audio stops. When I view playback devices I can't do any tests because "the device is already in use by another application"
(note: I have the checkbox for allowing an application to take exclusive control of a device un-checked).
So far there are only 2 ways to restore audio. 1) restart the PC. 2) go into device manager > Sound, video and game controllers > AMD High Definition Audio Device > Disable... wait a few moments > Enable.
I upgraded to Win10 about a month agn Friday my pc was stuck in the Automatic Repair Loop. I tried alt+ctrl+del no result. I reboot and pressed F10 the monitor went to sleep mode. When I pressed the on button on the monitor, the Monitor Status reads as follows:
DVI: No signal
VGA: No signal
Auto Switch Source: on
Default Source: DVI
At a point in time, a msg appeared saying "check video cable" so I used the VGA cable on two different ports no success. I bought a DVI-D cable and used it still the monitor is in sleep mode
Freezing, black screen, no cursor, monitor goes to sleep, computer still running after upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Must manually force computer shutdown. HP desktop.
View 1 RepliesWhen ever I leave my system on, windows goes to sleep but the cpu remains on fan's running and all but when you try to wake the system up nothing works the only way is to hold the cpu power button down till the system completely shuts down. Was running windows 7
View 1 RepliesI choose SLEEP and my PC goes to sleep, and there is a light on front of my PC Unit that flashes.
But I can't wake Windows 10 up. I tried pressing all buttons on mouse and keyboard, nothing happens ...
So I've and tried some more and I cannot seem to get my PC to Sleep. I was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Ultimate. It's a custom built rig for gaming and streaming movies. Not sure why, but I put it on sleep, I see the PC go down as if it's in sleep mode and then I leave the room. I go by the room again and the PC is back on.

View 3 RepliesI have a HP Envy that is only 11 months old. I installed Windows 10 not too long ago and now I am experiencing issues with the sleep mode function. I have tried many other suggestions in power troubleshooter and other "fixes", but nothing is working.
Here's the issue. When my laptop enters sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. The keyboard is unresponsive with the exception of the backlight key. No matter what I do, I cannot wake it and this includes Ctrl + Alt + Delete. The power button remains lit, but the screen remains black and will not wakeup. The only way to fix this is to hard reboot the laptop by holding the power button down until it shuts off and then reboot it.
I downloaded windows 10 yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine. However, every time I shut my computer, it's supposed to go into sleep mode from which a shake of the mouse will wake it. It is indeed going to sleep, but I can't wake it through any interaction with the mouse or keyboard. The power light is still on, indicating that the computer is sleeping, but I can't get it to wake up. I have had to hold the power button to turn it off and then on and I'm pretty sure that's terrible for my computer to not shut down properly.
View 19 RepliesAfter upgrading to W10 my pc keeps waking up from sleep mode. I've disables the reboot and scan in to wake the pc in task scheduler, I removed the wake on lan, mouse and keyboard from waking it in device manager, and I've disabled what I can in power management. It still wakes up a few minutes after going into sleep mode..

View 1 RepliesSo when I go somewhere, like today, I sleep my computer until I get back. Lately it has been turning back on after a while sleeping. Today I left the house around 8:45am and slept the PC. I got back at around 12:30pm and the computer was on. I do not have Intel Smart Connect installed.
View 5 RepliesWhen I first bought this desktop, after the prescribed amount of time of inactivity (it may be something like 15-20 minutes), the computer would go to sleep.As I've used it more, I've added a few different software items here and there. This computer is mainly used for school and leisure work, so there are no "heavy duty" programs on there. Recently, however, I've noticed that the computer will continue to stay on and the fan running (or something is humming) all of the time. Is there a way to check what program may be running that makes the computer think there is activity, when there is none?
View 2 RepliesI always put my computer to sleep at night before bed, after I installed W10 whenever it wakes up I get a grey screen with the number 90 in the bottom right corner.
View 1 RepliesIf I have say 10 programs up and am in the middle of things on each and I hit sleep then:
1.) The computer indeed goes to sleep i.e. the CPU Fan goes off.
2.) When I come back several hours later I always find that the CPU fan is on.
3.) When did the CPU Fan come back on? How do I set this time? This is the big question!
3.) I then use my mouse and the screen shows me the position on all 10 programs exactly as I left it.
Now the CPU fan coming back on after xxx minutes which I want to control means it rebooted some time after it went to sleep. On this machine there is a raid controller so the reboot process took about 5 minutes.
Other facts: If I hit sleep so the machine appears to turn off and the CPU fan stops and then put off the switch on the PSU then of course when I come back into the room in 8 hours or whatever I must turn the switch back on. I then hit the power button and wait 5 minutes while the raid controller and the CPU boot up and then I am back onto the 10 programs exactly where I left them.
So in the sleep command I want to set the time when it reboots to say 7 hours if I am going home to dinner and rest. If I am going to be away for an hour I want to set this time to say 1 hour. That way I can save having to hit sleep and then turn off the PSU switch to keep my CPU fan off all the time I am away.
To put it another way if I just hit sleep and leave for all I know it reboots after 5 minutes so electric saving is low!!
I have installed W10 twice using the update feature. Everything work fine except when I want to shutdown or put the machine to sleep by clicking on those options, the machine makes noise like the HD is working. It then just shuts down and reboots again. The only way I can shut it off is by using the button on the computer.
View 2 RepliesI have an HP 8540 laptop. I have the power settings set to high performance and all the options to go to sleep when plugged in are set to off/no.
HOWEVER, it keeps going to sleep even when things like a download is running. There r a few things like my 3D printer program that will keep it awake. I did however have it go to sleep a couple of times during a print and I changed something (I forgot what it was) and it stopped doing that but not for other things and not in general. When plugged in I do not want it to go to sleep unless I press my power button. I don't have a sleep button, but that is also set to no sleep.
It does not go to sleep if I am actively using the mouse and/or kbd. I had HP power assist running but I shut that down and it still goes to sleep. Everything is up to date.
So as the title says, every now and then Windows 10 randomly decides to wake itself up from sleep. It doesn't happen at any consistent time, some days it stays asleep until I actually turn the PC back on. Using powercfg /lastwake just gives me a wake history count and doesn't provide any information.
I can't figure out why this is happening. I've tried googling it and have found similar complaints but no real solution. It's not hardware that is waking it up and I have already disabled the "allow wake" setting for my network adapters in device manager.
Today when I turned on my computer, it has failed to sleep. I followed 2 tutorials on how to fix the issue. None have seemed to work. I even restarted my system and it still won't sleep.
