Windows 10: Sleep function in power settings just...stopped...working

Yesterday, for some unknown reason, the screensaver and sleep functions on my Windows 11 desktop stopped working. Attempted multiple troubleshooting techniques to no avail. This seems to be a regular issue with Windows 11. What will fix it?

:)

 

Sleep function disappeared after Creators update also screen brightness buttons stopped working

After creators update sleep function does not work, power options has no option for sleep.

• In Start>Power sleep does not show, only Hibernate Shut down and Restart.
• Cannot change screen brightness, buttons stopped working, Action center lost the screen brightness button, Windows Mobility center brightness control has no affect.

 

Sleep mode no longer function on display power?

Hi,

Thank you for posting to our Microsoft Community.

Please follow the below methods and check if it works,

Method 1: Power Troubleshoot.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Power troubleshooter.

Method 2:

Please let us know whether you are able to see the sleep mode options by referring the following steps

1. In Search bar type Control panel

2. Select Power options

3. In power saver select change power settings and after that
select Change advanced power settings in that check whether you can see the
sleep mode.

My computer does not work with sleep function after latest Windows 10 upgrade.

Hi Florence,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

From your description, I understand your Sleep function on the PC is not working properly after upgrading to Windows 10 operating system.



Before assisting further, i would like to ask you few questions:

• 
  Did you check if the sleep settings are set appropriately?
  
• 
  What happens when you perform Sleep function on the PC?
  

You may be facing the above issue due to change in the power settings from the
Control panel page on the PC.



If you have not fiddled with the power settings, I suggest you to change the
Power options from Control panel settings by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
  Power Options and select the top most search result.
  
• 
  Select Change when the computer sleeps option from the left side panel of the window.
  
• 
  Set the timing from the drop down bar under
  Turn off the display and Put the computer to sleep options on the window.
  
• 
  Click on Save changes.
  
• 
  Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
  

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
