    Computer doesn't go to sleep despite being in power saver mode


    My laptop is set to sleep after 10 minutes on battery and 15 minutes on mains. It does nothing of the kind. I wake up to find zero battery because the laptop didn't sleep at all, which wastes electricity when energy prices are sky-high. Hybrid sleep, which some sites said could be causing it if enabled, is not enabled. How do I make it sleep when the settings say it's supposed to sleep?

    :)

  2. sleep mode

    Hi disgruntledWC,

    There could be other settings on your computer that triggers your computer to go on sleep even though the sleep settings is set to never. To ensure that the sleep and display settings are properly set, I suggest that you look into the Advanced Power Settings.
    Follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel and click Power Options.
    • On your preferred plan, click Change plan settings.
    • Click advanced power settings.
    • Expand Sleep option, and make sure to set the following:
    Sleep after : Never

    Hibernate after : Never

    5. Click Apply, then OK.

    Please check also the screen saver option.

    • Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen.
    • Click Screen saver settings.
    • Set your Screen saver to None.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Once done, please observe if your computer still goes to sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

  3. Power, Screen saver, and Sleep settings have no affect

    More clues...........

    After a power outage yesterday I powered up the computer but never logged in. I was surprised to see that it was asleep this morning. After logging in I checked the screen off timer, 1 minute and, the sleep timer, 2 minutes. AFTER logging out the screen went off after 1 minute and sleep mode was entered about 2 minutes after that.
    So I logged back in and waited for 10 minutes. No screen off or sleep mode. While logged in I reset the screen off timer to 15 minutes, sleep timer to 30 minutes and screen saver to 2 minutes. After 30 minutes nothing had happened. At that point I LOGGED OUT again and AFTER 15 minutes the screen went off (w/o screen saver) and AFTER 30+/- minutes the computer went into sleep mode.
    So it seems that the screen off and sleep settings in control panel work as long as no user is logged in and that the screen saver is not working either way.
    Does this make sense to anyone?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions that come my way.

  4. Computer doesn't go to sleep despite being in power saver mode

    N78 - No time display in power saver mode?

    there is "power saver" and there is "sleep", you mean N78 cannot display anything in power saver mode or it defaults to sleep and has no power saver mode or it has power saver mode with no options what to display while in power saver mode
