    Powercfg /requestsoverride doesn't work


    I added a problematic device with the powercfg /requestsoverride driver devicename system command.
    And I can see it listed when typing just powercfg /requestsoverride.
    However, when I type powercfg /requests, it's still there and it's preventing the PC from going to sleep automatically.

    I've done this in the past with the same device on Windows 7 and it worked as expected, but it doesn't now on Windows 10.
    I did enter the name properly (even tried various combinations later) and I did restart, several times.

    Searching a bit, I see that others have the same problem, but I'm hoping someone here can come up with a solution.

    Windows 10 64bit 20H2.

    :)

    powercfg -requestsoverride errors

    Did you run the command below to check your command. If the powercfg /requests shows the Realtek driver it use whatever it shows, as indicated by the listing after using the command.

    powercfg /requestsoverride /?

    How to add valid powercfg /requestsoverride to handle these DRIVERs and allow computer to sleep?

    This is FRESHLY installed Windows 10, and I've run sfc /scannow, powercfg /restoredefaultschemes, Power Troubleshooter, ensured latest drivers on everything, etc. without any effect or help.
