    Notify users when there are apps preventing computer into sleep


    Close the lip to sleep is a convenient feature only if it behaves well every time, otherwise you will have a low-battery computer next time you open the lid. Sometimes apps may request to prevent computer into sleep (as can be checked in CMD with "powercfg -requests"). in such case, windows should notify user apparently that which app is preventing sleep mode.

    "Hey Cortana" preventing computer from automatically sleeping/hibernating

    Unfortunately, "Hey Cortana" still prevents my computer from automatically sleeping, even after these steps.

    Preventing access to modern app


    Ive been tasked with preventing the children from accessing instagram. I've got it listed in my windows hosts file and internet options/security/restricted site but the windows 10 app is still allowing access. Any suggestions other then deleting app which can just be reinstalled?
