    Power settings won't stay as saved - Display setting always revert when I exit the Settings...


    No matter what I do, I cannot get my Power & Sleep settings to hold to the time frames I want unless I leave the Settings tab minimized. When I set my times and exit, they revert to 5 minutes and 15 minutes battery times. By the way, I am not running on a battery - my Microsoft Surface is plugged in 98% of the time.


    Is there a way to get the settings to hold?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Store Settings "Update apps automatically" won`t stay switched off. WHY?

    In Settings in Store I set "Update apps automatically" to Off.

    When I go back in again it`s set back to On. Why won`t it stay switched Off?

    How do I get this stupid **** to DO WHAT I TELL IT and SWITCH OFF?

    What`s the point of having a Setting that you can`t Set?

    Power & sleep settings

    It seems that there is something else that triggers this problem. We've tried to replicate this in our end and we received a different result. The display stayed off until the computer was manually wake up

    For us to isolate this further, we suggest that you restore the power plan settings to default. Follow these steps:

    • In the Cortana seach, type in Power Options and click it from the search results.
    • In the right pane of your preferred plan, click Change plan settings.
    • Click Restore default settings for this plan.

    Once it's restored, please have your screen or the display turned off the same time as the screensaver would start. Say, set both to 5 minutes.

    In case the issue persists, then please go ahead and perform a clean boot. Starting Windows with minimal set of drivers and startup programs will help us determine what conflict is causing the problem. See

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows     for the steps.

    Let us know the result.

    Regards.
