  1. How to have a computer always powered on


    I have a computer without a screen that needs to be always on. To do this I configured some settings:


    1) Changed Power & Sleep options for Screen and Sleep to never;

    2) Set After Power Failure to Power On (this is possible from hardware side);


    This looked fine for me but recently I found a new issue. Sometimes when power went down for consecutive times, the Windows Automatic Repair system would step up and the computer would be stuck there (mainly because of no user intervention, since no screen was connected).


    I found out that it was possible to disable Windows Automatic Repair by using the command:


    bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled no


    Bu after disabling it I still had a recovery window that needed user intervention:

    Anyone knows if there is a way to completely disable this? My objective is that in these cases the computer is able to power on alone (without user intervention).


    Also, anyone knows any other things that I should do to acomplish my objective?


    Thanks in advance for any help/feedback.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 power buttons not working.

    Hi Gerry,

    I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if this helps.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps given below:

    You can run the Power troubleshooter to adjust your computer's power settings. The Power troubleshooter checks things like your computer's timeout settings, which determine how long the computer waits before turning off the monitor display or entering

      Control Panel
    • Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the
      Control Panel.
    • Click on View all on the left navigation pane.
    • Click on Power.
    • Click on Advanced on the
      Power
      dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).
    • Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the Power troubleshooter.
    Step 2:

    Try to restore the default power plan settings and check to isolate the issue.

    • Press Windows + R keys on the keyboard to open Run command.
    • Type powercfg.cpl to open the power settings.
    • Click on Change plan settings beside your current plan.
    • Click on Restore default setting for this plan and click on
      OK if prompted.
