    This has been happening for about a week.

    version is 2004 build 19041.423

    powercfg -requests shows:


    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> powercfg -requests

    DISPLAY:

    None.



    SYSTEM:

    None.



    AWAYMODE:

    None.



    EXECUTION:

    [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\MoUsoCoreWorker.exe

    USO Worker



    PERFBOOST:

    None.



    ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:

    None.


    I'm not running any servers on this box I was running PLEX, but not anymore. Not sure if there's anything else that might be relevant to figuring this out. Let me know if there is and I'll check it out. Thanks

    Computer doesn't lock upon sleep

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. I understand that the computer doesn’t prompt for a PIN/Password after waking up from sleep.



    As you have already checked the Sign-in options, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps.



    We can try changing the screen saver settings and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
      Settings.
    2. Click on Personalization and select
      Lock screen from the left pane.
    3. Scroll down and click on Screen saver settings.
    4. Now, select the screen saver and enter a time.
    5. Ensure that the checkbox for On resume, display log on screen is selected.
    6. Click on Apply and OK.


    Article for reference:
    Change your screen saver settings
    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Computer locks up waking from sleep

    Hi

    My computer locks up when waking from sleep.

    The power and WiFi lights come on as well as the keyboard backlight but the screen remains black. The computer doesn't respond to anything.

    Pressing the power button once doesn't do anything. I have to hold the power button down for several seconds to force power off the computer.

    I have run the troubleshooter and done a clean boot as described here:

    waking issue after sleep windows 10

    The troubleshooter doesn't find any problems and the computer still locks up after doing the clean boot.

    The computer used to wake perfectly when it was running Windows 8.1. It was upgraded to Windows 10.

    Any suggestions of how to diagnose / fix the problem?

    My computer is a Dell XPS 17 (L702X).

    computer doesn't go to sleep automatically

    The only task in that list that is not a part of the system task is the "FreeDownloadManagerNetworkMonitor". We suggest that you end the said task by going again to the
    Task Scheduler. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

    • Follow the steps that we have provided you before to display all running tasks.
    • Once all running tasks are displayed, select "FreeDownloadManagerNetworkMonitor", then click on
      End Task.

    If ending its task doesn't resolve your concern, we suggest that you try to uninstall it by following the steps in this article:

    Repair or remove programs in Windows 10
    . Once done, kindly check if the issue persists.

    Kindly get back to us once you're done with the steps that we have provided.
