  1. My automatic sleep timer doesn't match my preferred settings


    Recently, I changed my sleep timer settingsMy computer started to shut off the screen after 30 seconds of inactivity and go into to sleep mode 5 seconds after. My sleep timer settings no matter how much i change them do not affect this bug or situation. I have tried troubleshooting my power/sleep settingsI tried changing my power planNeither attempts worked, i tried it multiple times nothing has changed.Is there any way to fix this?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Automatic Sleep timer doesn't work.

    Hi,

    As you are facing issues with accessing the sleep mode on your computer, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

    I would like to inform that Settings app is a built-in application for Windows 10 to make user interface easier as it helps us to access fewer Control Panel features.

    This issue could have occurred due to incorrect power settings or corrupt power plan.
    Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

    Method 1: I suggest you to run power troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Power troubleshooter find and fix problems with your computer's power settings to conserve power and extent battery life.

    • Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
      Control Panel.
    • In the Control Panel window, select Category and then select
      Large icons.
    • Click on Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all and then click Power.
    • Click Next and follow on-screen instructions.

    If the issue persists,

    Method 2: I suggest you to
    restore the power plans to default.


    Follow the steps to reset and restore the power plans to default
    and check if it helps:

    • Right-click on Start button
      and click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the command prompt, type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes
      and hit Enter.
    • Exit command prompt.
    Note: This would reset the power plan settings to default. Any customized power plans are would be removed.

    Method 3: I recommend you to install all the pending updates on your device and check if it helps.

    Steps:

    • Connect to the internet.
    • Press Windows key and type updates.
    • Click on Check for updates.
    • Under Windows Updates, click on Check for updates.
    • Try to install the updates being shown.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of placing the laptop in sleep/ hibernate mode for further assistance.

    Thank you.
