    How to disable connected standby triggered by idle timeout?


    My laptop would go into connected standby mode after some time Event ID 506. Normally this would not be a problem, but it sometimes does this when my laptop is doing some real work like rendering and the system would enter the said connected standby mode which might cause a WHEA error that crashes the system. My power config is set to never sleep, and yet it still does this.Spec:CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7735HGPU: RTX 4060 LaptopRAM: 8GB*2 DDR5 4800MHzI simply want a way to sort of customize the trigger of connected standby.

    :)

    Sleep set to never, yet system enters 'connected standby' due to 'idle timeout' - why ?

    I have a freshly installed workstation and have changed the power setting to sleep=never while plugged in.

    Yet, after some time, the system goes to 'connected standby'.

    In the event log, I see:

    'The system is entering connected standby

    Reason: Idle Timeout.'

    Is there a way to completely prevent the system from going to sleep ?

    Task scheduler On Idle task not triggered Windows 7

    Windows 10: I've just tested on windows 10 and set the task idle time to be 5 mins, but it
    still triggered after 4 mins only, I've manually timed it 3 times and always triggers after 4 mins not 5 mins, any idea why?

    Windows 7: Isn't the task triggered because Windows 7 does not admire the 4 minute idle timer as
    according to Microsoft Windows 7 checks if the system is idle every 15 minutes? if so then shouldn't it work if the task idle time is set to 20 mins for example?

    UPDATE : I just tested it and manually timed it twice on my Windows 7 machine and it always triggers after 15 mins of Idle time even if I am setting the Idle task to 20 mins. Also my
    application doesn't start although the task is triggered but instead of my application running a screensaver starts running although I am setting screensaver to off on my machine. Any explanations or advice please?

    WMI suggestion: Could you advise with the steps step by step to follow to do you WMI suggestion
    please?

    Idle Time Out

    My plugged in system goes into 'connected standby' for the reason as shown in the
    Event Viewer

    The system is entering connected standby

    Reason: Idle Timeout.

    How do I prevent my system from entering connected standby? Please note I have the following settings in
    Power & Sleep settings Sleep

    On battery power, PC goes to sleep after

    4min

    When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after

    Never

    Is it possible to increase or disable the Idle Timeout for going into connected standby?
