Windows 10: No Sleep 'til the Windows are closed (1809 problem)

Despite attempts to prevent it, last week I was upgraded to Win 10 1809.17763.107.

It immediately deleted all my "restore" points, reset all my apps to MS defaults, and switched off my "sleep" button.


I've reset my apps to my preferences, but can't find any way of activating the sleep button. I've tried ALL the recommended methods, which don't work because some of the buttons to click on under SETTINGS simply don't exist in this version of WIN10.


Any suggestions? I could use AOEMI One Key recovery, but then I'll lose the DOS partition on C:, so I won't do that.

I've updated all drivers, but no improvement.

INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR resuming from sleep on 1809

Yes, I have 2 Samsung NVMe SSD 960s installed. The NVMe driver was 2.3.0.1709 and I just updated it to 3.0.0.1802.

Since I wasn't getting anywhere with this problem, I already reverted from 1809 back to 1803 and have had no sleep problems since. So it definitely seems to be related to 1809.

I'm reluctant to re-install 1809 yet to test if this fixes the sleep problem. I think maybe I'll wait awhile for any other 1809 weirdness to shake out.

Thanks for the suggestion...this is the best idea I've heard yet and definitely sounds plausible!

cheers, stache
