    Laptop never goes to sleep no matter how many times I reset the power settings


    Every day I go to the power settings in my Win 10 laptop and adjust the setting for "When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after..." to 45 minutes. I will even go into the advanced settings to confirm that it also says to put the unit to sleep after 45 minutes. I will even leave the power settings and re-open it to see if it still says 45 minutes and invariably it does. Then the next day when I return to the office I see that my PC is wide awake and clearly has been all night. I go into the power settings and invariably the setting for "When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after..." has been changed

  2. Device goes to sleep, regardless of power settings

    I am having nearly the same issue. Mine is not intermittent though. No matter what I do in the settings for power, my computer goes into Sleep mode after 2 minutes. I also ran the steps supplied by the tech and got the same results: changed nothing to help
    me, and ended up resetting my power settings to default values. This didn't bother me much since the settings didn't work anyway.

    Can someone help us with this? I was previously on Windows 7 and upgraded to Windows 10. I never had an issue on Win7. As I am a student and have to read a lot of stuff for school on my computer, this is super frustrating. I have to move my mouse every minute
    to keep my computer from going to sleep.

    Thanks for any suggestions, but please don't insult my intelligence with some instructions on how to change my power settings. I and the original poster seem to have at least a basic grasp on self-troubleshooting and have hit on all of the typical setting
    changes, to no avail.

    Thank you!

    Lenovo Laptop - Windows 10 - Power and Sleep Settings Not Working

    Despite selecting 'Never' for 'When plugged in, turn off after' for both 'Screen' and 'Sleep' within the 'Power and Sleep Settings' window--please see attached screen dump--and my laptop being plugged in, it still goes to sleep / shuts down after a short time of inactivity. Can any suggest why it is doing this and how to fix it?
