    Issue with Turn off the display and Sleep feature


    Whenever I set <Turn off display>, this setting overrides the <Sleep> setting - why?Ex: Turning off the display is set to 15 minutes and Sleep is set to 1 hour, yet the system goes to sleep in 15 minutes as set by the Turn off the display setting - simply ignoring the Sleep setting. I already unchecked/disabled, no difference.Please help.*This is happening only with Lenovo - Yoga C390, and C940 W10 and W11, but not with Dell desktops XPS 8910 and XPS 8930

    :)

    Issue with Turn off the display and Sleep feature

    Turn off display and sleep mode problem

    I have the Windows 10 upgrade from 8.1 and my computer will not turn off the display or go into sleep mode according to the power settings. I currently have it set to turn off the display after 5 minutes and go to sleep after 30 minutes. I ran the Power
    Troubleshooter and it said it found an issue with the "Turn hard disk off after" selection and changed it to 20 minutes but the displays still won't turn off and the computer doesn't go into sleep mode as scheduled. I am however able to put the pc into sleep
    mode manually from the start menu so it's not like sleep mode doesn't work it just doesn't happen automatically according to the power settings. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
