    Insomnia


    Computer suffers from insomnia.
    Computer (Desktop, Win 10 Pro) will not go to sleep although i did change the settings on the power profiles, used various power profiles, created a new one etc... Also the screen will not suspend ever after the given time of non-use.

    The only way to make it go to sleep is via a self created link : %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0.
    This works just fine.
    But going to sleep when there is no activity... no joy.
    Looked through the forums and already tried everything i could find, no joy either.

    All idea's welcome...

    :)

    N79 will not read track number info from an mp3

    I noticed this too and posted about it in the software updates forum



    /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=50901#M50901



    My workaround is as follows:

    Using mp3tag (and working with *copies* of my music, not original rips)



    • create new id3 tags called TITLE_BAK and TRACK_BAK which are copies of original title and track
    • change the track title to include the track number at the start, so "Insomnia" becomes "01 Insomnia"
    • format track number in all tracks to be the same (value "1", which turns in 49 on the phone). Because they are all the same this means the song order will be by title.

    Windows 10 Falls Asleep Despite "Never" Sleep Settings

    I did those things and it did not work. Also, I even installed an app called "Insomnia" to keep the computer awake yet it STILL fell asleep. Any other ideas?

    Insomnia

    Depends on which power config settings is used.
    As you dont say your Make/Model cant tell if the inbuilt OEM is overiding the MS one.

    The monitor not turning off was solved by unplugging any joystick. This may have the same effect on sleep.

    It's a self build one (i7 4770K clocked at 4,6Ghz with water cooling, GTX780 etc...) and it worked fine on the previous Win8.1 Pro (64 bit), only difference is Win 10 Pro (64 bit).

    I'll try this but i ain't gonna unplug my HOTAS every time i leave my desk for a while.
