    Settings to configure power and sleep are not working


    I set the setting for turning off the screen to 2 minutes and the screen never goes OFF, even overnight. I had a similar problem previously and changed the value in the power and sleep settings and in the sleep plan settings. That cleared the problem. Not this time.


    TIA for your suggestions. SweetTasha.

    :)

    Screen Sleep

    Hi Al,





    You can disable screen sleep by configuring the Power Settings. To configure the Power Settings, follow these steps:



    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose System.
    • Select Power & Sleep.
    • Under Sleep, select Never from the drop-down menu.


    Let us know if you need additional assistance.

    Screen Sleep

    That only works until you reboot or power down. Then, it is back to the 15 minute setting. I am trying to kill screen sleep forever.
