    Laptop Does Not Sleep Automatically/Screensaver never starts


    My laptop does not sleep automatically...ever when connected to the Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Keyboard and Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse with the laptop closed and connected to a Monitor. Here are my Power & sleep settings:

    Also, no matter how long I leave my system untouched, the screensaver never starts. Here are those settings:

    Any suggestions? I am under the assumption that resolving one issue would resolve both.

    Here is the output of powercfg /lastwake, powercfg /requests, and powercfg /waketimers

    The listed waketimer presumably is required by Acronis backup as I have a backup scheduled at 4am daily.

    laptop always going into Sleep mode after 2 to 3 min when dormant.

    I downloaded Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, when starting up my Laptop my laptop will go into sleep mode if it is dormant for 2 min, the screensaver doesn't start up either. In power options when plugged in all say never so is there a fix for this as its
    a pain having to sign in every 2 minute's.

    Win10 won't automatically sleep

    You should be able to make your computer sleep when a camera is plugged in. Here is a trick to make your computer sleep if you can do it manually but not automatically.

    You need to install a tool to launch a program when your screensaver starts. You can use this one called screen launcher and there are others if you search for them.

    www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Screensavers/Screen-Launcher.shtml

    Once installed you can access it through your screensaver settings and use this command to engage sleep mode.
