Power plan?

Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type in Power Settings.
• On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
• Select High performance.

After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

How to reactivate battery charging settings on Windows 10?

Hi Walter,

I understand that you are facing issues with reactivating the battery settings after installing the Windows Updates.

Provide us additional information for better assistance:

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Which was the latest update installed on your device that might have resulted in this?

Method 1: To access the new battery settings, open the
Settings app, go to System, and navigate to Battery saver
and set the settings as you wish to.

Note: Windows 10 features that your device can't handle won't be shown as an option. If you're running the operating system on a desktop computer without a battery, the
Battery saver option won't be available. The same is true for other features.

Method 2: I suggest you to restore the power plans to default
and check if it helps.

Step 1: Reset and restore the power plans to default:

• 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.

Step 2: Once the power plan is reset to default, you may create a
new power plan and customize the same according to your needs.
