Windows 10: New Behavior: Failure To Execute Power Options

Version 1909 (18363.1082)

I've been running WinX since I got booted from my old, reliable Win 7 Pro last January, and never had a problem with Power settings until the past few weeks. It's not consistent, but often the display stays up indefinitely and the computer never sleeps. Settings have been 5' for display and 10' for sleep most of the time. I've tried re-entering these settings and I've tried running the Powercfg app with administrator privileges. The result is shown below. Any ideas?

sleep mode and power options not working on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Forums.

For issues with sleep mode and power options follow the steps provided below.

Run the Power troubleshooter and check.

Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter:

• Open Control Panel.
• Type Troubleshooting in search and click
  Troubleshooting.
• Now type Power in the search option.
• Click on Power troubleshooter to run.

I would suggest you to try updating the Display driver and check if the issue persists. If you already have all the latest drivers from Windows updates, then I would suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's website, download and install the latest
drivers in compatibility mode and check.

Hope this helps.
