auto sleep mode not working in Windows 10
Hi all,
From the time I installed Windows 10 I've had problems with auto sleep mode. When I first installed and set it up like I had in Windows 8.1 it would work for a couple of days and then quit. I've always been able to do it manually in 10 but now it will not automatically go into sleep mode as programmed. As I understand it under Windows 10 all updates are automatically downloaded to my computer and when the computer is acting will be installed and restarted so if a password is necessary it can be entered by the operator. I have a suspicion that Microsoft is using this method to test Windows 10 on as many computers as they can to ferret out the problems. Just a guess. Be that as it may I still cannot get Windows 10 to automatically go into sleep mode. It goes in sleep mode manually and stays there and I have a cloning app that does its thing at 2 AM while it is in sleep mode so sleep mode is not affecting it. 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) 3.60 gigahertz Intel Core i7-4790K 256 kilobyte primary memory cache 1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache 8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache 64-bit ready Multi-core (4 total) Hyper-threaded (8 total) Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-PRO Rev 1.xx Serial Number: 141134426100449 Bus Clock: 100 megahertz UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. 2012 09/30/2014 I'm in the process of updating the bios but I'm a little reluctant to do so if it is not necessary. I found out that there is an update for the motherboard but I'd rather not cross that bridge until I have to :-(. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. |

But I stumbled across this about an hour ago and I think it's taking care of but I'm going to wait a couple of days before I'm sure. I went into, Control Panel, Power Options, (I'm using power saver) click on Change plan settings, open Change advanced power settings, in Allow hybrid sleep, set to "OFF". As of now auto sleep is working as I sit it Is up. :-) Keeping my fingers crossed. I googled the difference between "hibernation" and "Sleep Mode" and it pointed out that hybrid sleep was a combination of the two and I found that it was on so I turned it off. If this will help others |

Well, I tried https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/soft...d/windows10ISO Started yesterday afternoon I let the computer do it's thing and this is the results. Windows 10 (build 10240) Install Language: English (United States) System Locale: English (United States) Installed: 12/22/2015 8:42:44 AM Boot Mode: Legacy BIOS in UEFI So maybe the 10586.36 build is not made for PC??? |

I've tried since you posted this and today I tried it once more in this is what was written across the webpage.

What is that all about, is that where I can be able to get it? |

What is that all about, is that where I can be able to get it? When I click this link (from above), I am offered a copy of MediaCreationTool. Is that what you got ? http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209 MediaCreationTool is a tool used to download a copy of the OS, for placement on a USB key or on a DVD (or as an ISO9660 file). The MediaCreationTool should handle the download, and make sure the checksum is correct. If the machine you are on is running WinXP or Linux, then you cannot use MediaCreationTool, and the web page may give you a direct link to a download. If you use the direct link, there is a probability the download will be corrupted (due to the way the server has been modified). When you install the copy of Windows 10 on that DVD, by running the setup.exe off the disc, it will do an Upgrade install, and take you to the version of that DVD. In the process, some of your preferences or settings you made, may get changed/reset. ******* "Get Insider builds" is for people who did not activate their OS the regular way, and they availed themselves of the Insider Previews before the release of 10240 took place. I have a copy of Win10 here, which is the Insider version, and I didn't use any qualifying OS for the purpose. So it didn't need Win7SP1 or Win8.1 as a qualifying OS. But on the other hand, it's a Preview version, and not considered the "regular" OS. So there can be differences between that Preview, and the release stream. You would only tick "Get Insider builds", if that was how your OS got activated in the first place. If instead, you offered it a qualifying OS, which generates a "digital entitlement" license key on the Microsoft server, then I don't see a good reason to be using Insider builds. You want the slightly more stable release builds instead. Your Update history will likely get reset after an Upgrade Install. Whether you are going from 10240 to 10586 or 10586 to 11082, the update history is likely to be scrubbed, as these OS upgrades are similar to Service Packs. Clean install = boot the computer using the DVD, and install Upgrade install = boot the hard drive, run setup.exe off the DVD The Upgrade install keeps your programs and files. (The Upgrade install can also be run from a Windows Update downloaded image.) ******* If you have any question about the install, the latest one I think, puts the release number in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Not all releases have done that, but I think 10586 might. When you download a 3.5GB ISO9660 file, in the Sources directory you will find "install.wim". If you run this command, it'll tell you the version. http://blogs.technet.com/b/chnylen/a...with-dism.aspx (In an elevated administrator cmd.exe Command Prompt...)
