Windows 10: sleep problem

I have Windows 10 x64 home and have sleep turned turned to never, turn the display off set to never and screen saver set to none. Today I left my computer on while I went shopping and when I came back my screen was off with an amber light in the bottom corner. When I moved the mouse the screen came back on. How do I correct this?

Windows 10 WiFi and Restart problems after being in 'sleep' mode.

There was/is a similar problem with windows 8.1: No WiFi after sleep mode. It seems during sleep mode WiFi is turned off and not always turned on, causing problems. The advice was never go into sleep mode. I changed my 'power settings', so when I close the
lid it does not go into sleep mode. So far I have not had any more problems.

So it may be that the 'power management' has problems in windows 8.1 and 10.

Thanks,

Bob

 

Windows 10 won't go to sleep automatically

I have the same problem and have spent hours trying to resolve it.

My display will go to sleep but my computer won't.

I have installed the latest BIOS and drivers.

My computer sleeps fine if I manually push the button.

Sometimes sleep will work for a while and then it stops working.

Powercfg -requests shows nothing.

Powercfg -energy shows nothing that should prevent it from sleeping.

It will not sleep when booted in Safe Mode.

It will not sleep when a Clean Boot is performed per the instructions.

However, it will sleep if I don't check "Hide all Microsoft Services" when I reboot with services disabled so it is a Microsoft service causing the problem.

It will also sleep if I Sign out of my account.

Has this problem been resolved?

Is there a way to see which Microsoft service is causing the problem without disabling them one at a time and rebooting (there is probably close to a hundred of them)?

Thanks

 

You are not alone. I've had this on several computers. Never found a fix.
I'll follow this and hope someone comes up with an answer.

 

Found this last night: Power Options - Add Console lock display off timeout

It's for Windows 8 but applies to Windows 10 as well. From reading the info there it doesn't sound like it applies but the symptoms sound like what we are seeing. I've got a couple systems at work I'm going to try this on and see what happens.

You might want to give it a try. You can always turn it off again if nothing changes.
