    Why don`t you just tell whoever to stay away from your PC ?

    Personally, I would never put my pc to sleep if I was going to sleep or work. I would just turn it off.

    I agree, it's probably time you have a nice little one on one talk with whoever keeps unplugging that and explain why you do what you do.

    Because they don't care.

    And shutting it down and starting up puts more wear and tear on the components.


    I tried, he won't listen. He complains his power bill is extremely high but I'm not the one with the TVs on all day.

    Any way to make computer sleep on login screen when inactive?

    Was thinking about your problem Guy, changing power profiles isn't very practical and am also not sure, if it'll work at logoff without login first...

    Just set profile for sleep (i.e. short time, 2 or 5 mins) and run a program that prevents PC to go into sleep when working.

    www.softwareok.com/?Microsoft/DontSleep

    Don't Sleep is donationware. Basically freeware and clean of viruses, according to virustotal. This program will prevent Windows to go to sleep. just set it to run at startup.

    Next step is to find out what brings your PC from sleep when you are away. We can deal with that later

    Well, I wasn't able to get this solved, so I don't know what to do at this point.
