Problem with sleep mode
Hi all,
When I upgraded from 8.1 to Windows 10 I've been having a problem with getting the computer to go into sleep mode. I can put it into sleep mode manuallyby clicking on start, power and choosing sleep mode and both it and the monitor will go to sleep. It worked just fine and 8.1. When I try to set sleep mode up in Power Options for a given number of minutes after being idle it will shut the monitor down but not the desktop PC. Windows 10 (build 10240) Install Language: English (United States) System Locale: English (United States) Installed: 8/6/2015 6:33:33 AM Boot Mode: Legacy BIOS in UEFI (Secure Boot not supported Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-PRO Rev 1.xx Serial Number: 141134426100449 Bus Clock: 100 megahertz UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. 2012 09/30/2014 |

There is a chance that something within those settings are counteracting the normal process. -- A.M |

I couldn't find anything that would be doing this according to Google this seems to be an ongoing problem with Windows 10 unfortunately no fixes yet. That's okay I'll just put it to sleep manually until something comes up for I stumble across a fix, but thank you |

As far as Vista I've never had it on this computer I went from Windows XP to Windows 8. I sometimes feel like there's something running in the background that will not allow the sleep state??? But I can't find it. But I thank you Right-click start and open an Administrator "Command Prompt" window. cd /d %userprofile%\downloads powercfg -energy The output is in your Downloads folder energy-report.html Mine has a fair number of bogus (unimportant) items in it, but examining that might show a glaring error right away. ******* "In earlier Windows versions, drivers sometimes prevented Windows from entering or reliably resuming from a power-saving state.
