KB4041676 broke all the sleep timers on my machine
All of the sleep timers are broken on my machine after the 2017-10
(KB4041676) update. The screen will not time out and blank. The machine will not go to timed sleep. All I can do is turn the monitor off, or put the computer to sleep manually. When I put it to sleep manually, sleep works normally. It stays asleep and I can wake it with my USB mouse/keyboard. The computer doesn't have insomnia; it just doesn't time out and shut down any longer. No screen blanking is a special ****er. I'm going to have to go back to using screen savers like it's 1994 again. powercfg -requests shows no holds on the system. Effectively, 2017-10 breaks power management on my machine. Anyone else seeing this particular problem? I'm reading all sorts of other horror stories on Google and in MS's Community forum, but I haven't seen this particular problem mentioned. Maybe something went wrong with the update and it will be fixed when I update again? (What I did to temporarily fix this was uninstall the update, which brought my machine back to the 2017-7 Cumulative patch, and then reinstalled 2017-9 from the MS Windows Update website. Then I paused updates for 7 days and set the security patch deferral to 30 days. Timed sleep for the monitor and the system work normally with 2017-9. I don't know what I'm going to do with my Windows 10 Home machines. Hopefully, none of them will be affected.) -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten |
