  1. power options not working


    My laptop Specification:

    DELL Inspiron 15R 5521

    Intel HM77 Chipset
    Intel Graphics HD 4000

    when set power options to sleep after 20 minutes if the laptop is idle, but it is going to sleep mode in 1 minuteeven if we set never instead of 20 minutes. Similarly in the case of turning off the display irrespective of time set in power optionControl Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings


    I have already tried

    1. updating the graphicDisplay adapter drivers.
    2. changing registry values of activateautoscreenlock ,HKEYLOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7 then set attribute value to 2.
    3. changing sleep&power in settings

    But none of these helped me to get out of this problem.

    :)

  3. sleep mode and power options not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

    For issues with sleep mode and power options follow the steps provided below.

    Run the Power troubleshooter and check.

    Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Type Troubleshooting in search and click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Now type Power in the search option.
    • Click on Power troubleshooter to run.

    I would suggest you to try updating the Display driver and check if the issue persists. If you already have all the latest drivers from Windows updates, then I would suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's website, download and install the latest
    drivers in compatibility mode and check.

    Hope this helps.

  4. power options not working

    Power Options don't work.

    Do Sleep and Hibernate work from the Power shortcuts just above the Start button in Start Menu?

    Work through the steps in
    Sleep Mode Problems
    to test with short timeouts after each step or two. As I said earlier, this has always worked for me and rarely do I need to work through the entire list.
