Does Windoes 10 Version 1809 mess with Sleep activity?
I am running Version 1809 (Pro) on a 4-year-old 4th Gen Intel i7
CPU with about 110 GB used on a 1 TB SATA drive. Up thru Version 1803, Running a weekly full scan with Kaspersky Internet Security or System Mechanic's Malware scan would each take about two hours, and they would run thru my computer, left alone, going into Sleep mode after 30 minutes. Since updating to Version 1809, both of these programs seem to stop when the computer goes into Sleep mode. Yesterday, I started System Mechanic's malware scan at 10:30 AM and left home. When I returned at 3:04 PM, one about 176,000 files had been checked of about 2.5 million files. Bummer! Today I left Kaspersky's scan running and after four hours it was only 50% finished. Both programs will resume when I bring the computer out of Sleep mode. (Conversely, Mozy backup does it's automatic update during Sleep mode.) I think that the only things that's changed on my computer is the update to Version 1809. Any thought about this would be welcome. Thanks in advance. |

Right-click start, use Run, and type "control" in there. That will start Control Panels running. Right-click the Control Panel folder icon on the task bar, and select "Pin", so that Control Panels sticks around for the next time you need it. In there is "Power" control panel. The default power schema could be "Balanced". You can set a basic Sleep interval in there. I have mine set to "Never". In addition there is an Advanced option, which brings up more items. It includes a provision (near the bottom), to allow multimedia programs to keep the computer awake. This allows you to insert a 2 hour DVD and watch a Hollywood movie, without having to constantly move the mouse to prevent sleep. What's not clear to me in your description, is if you expect sleep to happen after each program has finished scanning. Some backup programs for example, have a setting where they will sleep or shut down after a backup is finished (even if the Power panel is set to "Never", something could still command the machine to sleep, including the main desktop menu). An AV program may not extend this kind of feature. These are not features you can rely on each program supporting necessarily. A movie player could prevent sleep. A backup program could engage sleep. The Power panel sets a basic policy, as a function of selected schema ("Balanced"). Sleep can be stopped entirely, by things that "powercfg energy report" can tell you about (some driver doesn't support sleep). Paul |

Windows 10 has a hidden 'System Unattended sleep timeout'. Try enabling and adjusting the setting and retest. Editing the registry value as shown below will make it available in 'Advanced Power Settings' and allow the end-user to manually set their preference. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0 to 2 (or 0) makes the option appear in the advanced power settings, under Sleep and can be set to something normal. -- ....w¡ñ§±¤ñ msft mvp 2007-2018 |
