    Desktop won't go to sleep anymore. Just started about 3 weeks ago

    I used to be able to have my Desktop go to sleep. Now it won't. From various suggestions on Google, I've gone into Power Options and attempted to change some of the settings but it still will not enter sleep mode.

    I hope you can assist.

    Windows 10 Won't Sleep


    @TDOZ, Thanks for your reply. Sorry it's taken me a little while to reply. Had loads of stuff on over the last few days.

    This command doesn't work for me and I'm not sure what to change the filename to? : Get-Service | where { $_.Status -eq "Running" } > C:/DOCS/running_services.txt

    I went through all the steps in post #7 of that post. Realised you actually only asked for the last bit but I've done it all...can't hurt. I've uploaded it to Dropbox so you can download the files. You can find them here:

    Dropbox - Link not found

    I received a reply on another forum which yielded an interesting result. Their suggestion was to create a new user profile. I did this and on that new profile the computer would sleep. It still won't sleep on my main (admin) profile but it will on this new one. Does that suggest it's a software thing?
