    powercfg -requestsoverride errors

    Did you run the command below to check your command. If the powercfg /requests shows the Realtek driver it use whatever it shows, as indicated by the listing after using the command.

    powercfg /requestsoverride /?

    Cannot run a command: Powercfg -requests won't open on Windows 10

    Cmd.exe powercfg -requests different when run within application

    I am working on creating an application that monitors and controls sleep settings. I noticed that my application prevents the computer from sleeping because it uses an audio stream. I attempted to create an algorithm that would find all the drivers preventing
    sleep using powercfg -requests and then would override those drivers using powercfg -requestsoverride "driver name". This algorithm works, however, I noticed that when running the application, the powercfg -requests returns a different result than when opening
    a command console and checking powercfg -requests manually.

    The first image below shows the result of powercfg -requests when I manually type it into a command window.

    This second image shows the result of powercfg -requests when my application creates a command window with arguements "/c powercfg -requests"

    Note these are both run while the application is running, but the second one is very different from the first one. Also the second one does not include the audio stream drivers. Both of these command windows have admin privileges and the application framework
    I am using is Unity. Can anyone explain why this happens and how can I query all of the drivers that are stopping my computer from sleeping?
