Windows 10: Microphone keeps turning off after a minute of inactivity

I've disabled power management in all USB hubs, but it still does it.It's an AT2020 Cardioid Microphone connected through a USB-A to USB-B cable, it works fine when it's on but it keeps powering off whenever I'm silent for more than a minute.

Windows 10 (sometimes) goes to sleep after only 2 minutes of inactivity

Hello Mark,

Your screensaver might be one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep every time the computer is inactive. It is possible that the idle time is set every 2 minutes. Having said that, you can try adjusting the waiting time by following the
steps below and see if it makes any difference:

• Go to Control Panel, click on Appearance and Personalization.
• Select Personalization.
  
• Click on Screen Saver at the bottom right.
• Adjust the waiting time and hit Apply.

If the issue persists, we recommend trying the suggestions posted by Aleksandr 10 in this

helpful.

Let us know if that worked out for you.

 

How to set auto logout after 5 minutes of screen inactivity?

Our firm just upgraded our conference room computer to Windows 10. We set the screen to turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity, but we prefer to keep the computer on and set it to never fall asleep, so automatic updates aren't interrupted.

For security reasons however, we would like the computer to automatically log out after the screen is inactive for 5 minutes. The only relevant setting that I've been able to find is under Settings --> Accounts --> Sign In Options:

I only have two options here:

• When PC wakes up from sleep
• Never

Neither of these work for us, since we set the computer to never sleep. Are there any other options available that would allow us to a) keep the computer from sleeping b) log out automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity?

Thanks!

 

Screen turns off within a minute of inactivity on Windows 10

I have my screen settings and also my sleep settings set to turn off NEVER. Within a minute of inactivity my screen turns off then goes to the sign in screen. It is really annoying, especially when I'm reading something and have to constantly keep logging
in. Is there a way to fix this?
