  1. Sleep timer keeps resetting to 30 minutes


    The desktop PCs at my work need to be on constantly (I work in security and need the camera feed visible at all times)

    I keep trying to set the sleep timer to either 5 hours or never, but this seldom works and more often randomly resets to 30 minutes. Is there a way to remedy this? I'd rather not have to keep moving the cursor to reset the timer.

  2. windows 10 sleep timer keeps resetting to 1 minute

    Dell alienware. windows 10 up to date.

    Power and sleep: sleep: "when plugged in PC goes to sleep after: RESETS TO 1 minute. I've set it to 4 hours. I've set it to Never.

    This reset happens regularly when nothing unusual is going on with the computer.

    Screen saver is disabled and set to maximum time out.

    Disabled sleep in the advanced menu

    No unusual software installed. None.

    To be clear that problem is NOT that the computer sleeps mysteriously. The problem is that something is changing the "power and sleep" sleep timer to 1 minute. Happens every day or so.

    Its a huge problem because I have remote sessions to work open that die when the connection drops.

    I've seen similar posts, but there the cause of sleep was mysterious. Here the cause is clearly visible.

  3. Sleep timer set at 30 mins - Computer sleeps at 5 mins

    Original title: Sleep timer

    I have the HP Pavilion Notebook with Windows 10. I have set the Power & Sleep to sleep after 30 minutes, but the computer sleeps after about 5 minutes. I can easily restore the screen my moving the mouse, but it is very annoying to have the computer sleep
    after 5 minutes. Can you help?

    Sleep timer keeps resetting to 30 minutes

    Screen Sleep Timer resets to 15 minutes

    For a few months now the monitor sleep timer on one of my PC's resets to 15 minutes randomly. I always have my monitors set to never sleep because I don't want to miss updates that might appear on the applications that I use.

    I am the only user and administrator of this PC, I double check every time I start the PC that it is set to Never sleep and yet for some reason I cannot figure out why it just decides to put my settings back to 15 minutes. Any ideas on this would be greatly
    appreciated.
