Windows 10: my comp will not go to sleep in 30 mins

how can I enter the sleep mode

:)

 

Why Live Tile is updated in Windows Phone @ 30 Mins interval?

Hi Jay..



Thanks for response!!!



I tried as per suggested steps, unfortunalty does not help.



I think it is Windows OS Limitation to have tile update on every 30 mins.

 

Power Settings say sleep @ 30 min but computer sleeps @ 2.5 minutes

I've tried posting this before but the one and only reply I got from MSFT was not helpful and then MSFT stopped replying to thread so I'm creating a new post...

Here's Original Post:

Problem started occurring since upgrading to Windows 10. Same machine running Windows 8 had no issues.

My computer isn't supposed to sleep for 15 (battery) or 30 minutes (plugged in). But it sleeps after approximately 2.5 minutes. I just tested twice while plugged in. One test I timed at 2 min 32 sec and one at 2 min 33 sec.


Huge pain in the **** as I have a very strong password and I'm accidentally locked out of my computer approx 100x / day.

Below are my power settings:

System > Power & Sleep Settings: instruct both the screen to turn off and the computer to sleep at 15 minutes when on battery and 30 minutes when plugged in.

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings: also instruct both the screen to turn off and the computer to sleep at 15 minutes when on battery and 30 minutes when plugged in.

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options: I'm running the default "Balanced (recommended)" power plan, not a custom power plan.

You can
see the bad advice I got in response here

I tried running the Power Troubleshooter as suggested but that didn't work.

I clicked the "How to create and delete a power plan" link but could not access the content as MSFT detected I was running Windows 10 and the link was to Windows 8 content so I was redirected to some Windows 10 content homepage (nothing related to power
- just general Windows 10 stuff).

Similarly the "Clean Boot" link provided had nothing regarding Windows 10.

I'M RUNNING WINDOWS 10. NO MORE WINDOWS 8 ADVICE, PLEASE.
