Windows 10: Sleep/standby default timings can't be changed.

Hello,
I saw several threads dealing with sleep/standby problems, but I'd like to pinpoint a specific point:
My computer goes to sleep (first display switch-off, then CPU/MB standby) but only according to default timings. If I change the timings, they are used when computer sleeps for the first time, but then timings immediately revert back to default.
Since I have Windows 10 Home, I can't use gpedit to investigate Group Policies setup.
Anyone having a similar problem ?

:)

 

Fall Creator's Build upgrade stopped the hibernation function - Solved

Something I have always wondered about with the Modern Standby systems is, since they do not do Sleep, what effect do the sleep settings have on the Low Power mode.

When I change the times for sleep it does seem to have an effect on the time the system stays in DRIPS, or so it seems.

Is there any guidance or explanation of Sleep timer settings and Lid or Power button settings from Microsoft as they involve Modern Standby?

Thanks..

 

Having issues with computer going into "sleep mode" after 2-3 minutes even though the settings are set to "never"

Here is the output: (should I expect something different?)

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States

Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer
to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

S1 Sleep Supported
false

S2 Sleep Supported
false

S3 Sleep Supported
true

S4 Sleep Supported
true

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Connected Standby Support

Connected standby allows the computer to enter a low-power mode in which it is always on and connected. If supported, connected standby is used instead of system sleep states.

Connected Standby Supported
false

 

Just a thought, maybe these settings are forced in the BIOS. I have seen in Power Options some settings dealing with blanking the screen and putting the computer in standby. To enter BIOS, restart your computer and at first screen you see on the monitor press DEL. For notebooks this is DEL or F2 or F10 or ESC, depending on model. Look for any power settings and set all timers to off (disabled). Save settings and exit to restart the computer again.

 

Thanks for the advice, but there are no such settings in my BIOS (ASUS Z97-A motherboard).
From other threads, it seems that there are lots of problems with the whole Power Plans system in Windows 10. Standby settings, but also Screensaver and Lockscreen settings are affected.
