    Problem to disable "auto-sleep"


    Hi. I have a new laptop there is installed a malware yes, we can call it as MALWARE called Windows 10. I have set screen timeout to 10 minutes, tested to set screen saver to 15 minutes and sleep after is 45 min. But what happens... Then display goes off, simultaneously computer goes into sleep!! I have read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/learn-about-hardware/wakeontouch and also setCsEnabled=0 but these aren't working.
    It's impossible to use computer if it does all kinds of tricks by itself without permission!! Then you try to leave a computer to process it's work and in the meantime you go to somewhere else to do something else, but then you come back a computer is in sleep mode and all work is still not processed!!!

    And a second question. What is a working method to prevent a harmful feature which starts up a computer by itself even if computer was hibernated?? I have lost my work then computer was in hibernate but it started up at middle of the night and rebooted !!!

    I can't understand how someone can do this kind of **** which is full of harmful features - it is called malware!! It might be a time then I have to swap to Linux or go back to Win 7

    :)

    Auto Sleep not working

    Well, since the update to 1909 my auto sleep doesn't work. The monitor goes to sleep at the right time but the computer stays on. I've set every combination for sleep times but, nothing works. Googled said problem and all of the suggestions are useless. Can't go back to 1903 as my backup drive no longer 1903 on it.

    Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Windows 10 Will Not Auto Sleep


    I've seen lots of threads about similar issues here and I think I've tried everything I've read but nothing will make my PC sleep. It worked fine with Windows 8.1 but since 10 it doesn't matter what I change, the only way to make the PC sleep is to do it manually.

    Here are some of the steps I've followed with no success:

    - powercfg /requests shows nothing
    - powercfg /energy doesn't show anything interesting
    - no media sharing is enabled
    - homegroup is disabled
    - disabling NIC has no effect
    - removing everything from the PC other than power and HDMI for video has no effect
    - everything but my mouse is set not to wake pc (I have also tried with the mouse also set to no avail)
    - updated drivers where possible

    The weird thing is if I don't log onto the PC from a reboot, it will sleep just fine - the minute I log on it refuses to auto sleep. Also, if I boot into Safe Mode, the sleep works just fine again.

    It's driving me crazy as combined with the auto setting for windows update (despite having disable wake timers selected) the PC will sometimes wake in the middle of the night and stay on until I sleep it again.

    A guy here at Reddit has the same issue, but the thread isn't seeing much activity:
    My self-built Windows 10 PC will not automatically go to sleep under any condition : techsupport

    Happy to answer questions about my setup or try suggestions.

    Thanks in advance!
