Windows 10: Power Settings timers for sleep keep resetting

I seem to have a similar problem, but a little different from a very common power plan issue.
I have an AMD Ryzen 3600 on a X570 chipset mobo non Intel CPU. I like to set my power plan to put my PC to sleep after 45 minutes of inactivity. I have modified ALL of the existing power plans to set the PC to sleep after 45 mins I have the monitor turning off after 30 mins. No matter what settings I pick in the "Advanced Power Settings" the times for ALL of the plans revert to 1 hour for the monitors and 2 hours for Sleep.
How can I stop Windows or whatever service from changing my power plan settings from 20min/30min to 1hr/2hr all the time?

Automatic Sleep timer doesn't work.

Hi,

As you are facing issues with accessing the sleep mode on your computer, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

I would like to inform that Settings app is a built-in application for Windows 10 to make user interface easier as it helps us to access fewer Control Panel features.

This issue could have occurred due to incorrect power settings or corrupt power plan.
Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

Method 1: I suggest you to run power troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Power troubleshooter find and fix problems with your computer's power settings to conserve power and extent battery life.

• Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
  Control Panel.
• In the Control Panel window, select Category and then select
  Large icons.
• Click on Troubleshooting.
• Click View all and then click Power.
• Click Next and follow on-screen instructions.

If the issue persists,

Method 2: I suggest you to
restore the power plans to default.

Follow the steps to reset and restore the power plans to default
and check if it helps:

• 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.

Method 3: I recommend you to install all the pending updates on your device and check if it helps.

Steps:

• Connect to the internet.
• Press Windows key and type updates.
• Click on Check for updates.
• Under Windows Updates, click on Check for updates.
• Try to install the updates being shown.

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of placing the laptop in sleep/ hibernate mode for further assistance.

Thank you.

 

Computer will not sleep.


My computer that I've just installed Win 10 on wakes immediately after putting to sleep.

I've tried all things listed in this thread.

I've gone into the event viewer and filtered on Power Troubleshooter in Event sources for waking, and it indicates Unknown Source.

I've check to see that the NW Adapter is set to allow wake, magic packets only.

The Allow Wake Timers in Power settings is set to Important Wake Timers only.

I've disconnected all USB devices just for testing the sleep.

I've run out of ideas. I'll be searching more on Google. But if any other thoughts/suggestions, it's appreciated.
