  1. undocumented wireless power saving modes getting in the way


    I use certain wireless network scanning tools under windows 10 laptop build 1909 and this problem is not specific to any particular feature update build...


    Despite having any Advanced device power management settings disabled and the device configured to not let windows turn it off to save power...


    Windows repeatedly causes the adapter to cease scanning for access points than it is currently connected to.


    The only way to get the correct scanning of all the possible wireless channels is to tap the task bar notification areas wireless icon and it at first pops up the list of available access points with just the currently connected access points name listed and then a second or so later the wireless adapters scanning is resumed and the rest of the surrounding access points show up and then the scanning utilities resume seeing all the surrounding access points until windows 10 times out again and stops scanning other channels as instructed by the programs in question.


    One program an old version, 3.1.2.1, of metageeks inSSIDer seems to be able to keep the adapter awake and wake it up on launch but others like xirrus WiFI Inspector 2.0 and others seem unable to break out of these undocumented power saving modes.


    Anyone know how we can turn OFF this unwanted undocumented feature?


    This is not a driver problem or a resource depletion problem... no need to turn the wifi off and on again, just tapping on the wireless network notification icon wakes the adapters scanning functionality again. No noticeable changes to the currently connected access point connectivity happens in either mode. It has occurred across multiple driver versions and multiple feature updates. The same effect occurs on other completely different Windows 10 Laptops with different hardware. Does not happen at all on older Vista SP2 based laptop.

    E72 Power Saving Mode

    Hi All,



    My Nokia E72 is constantly saving that its in power saving mode. Is there a way to get it out of the power saving mode? I searched everywhere in the phone and in the disccussion board.



    Thanks.

    Problem with the power saving mode

    Hello,

    I've had a problem with power conservation for a few weeks now. Normally my procedure is the following:
    1. Putting the PC into power saving mode
    2. Switch off the connector strip to which the PC is connected
    3. Next time switch on the power strip and start the PC

    Windows Version: 2004, Build: 19041.264

    Before that, all the programs I had open before power saving mode were open. Now I have the problem since a few weeks that the PC boots normally and all programs are closed. This is not so nice, because I always have relatively many programs open, so I always have to restart them, which takes some time.
    Does anyone know by chance what this could be due to?

    Greeting

    power saving mode after a few minutes on gaming

    My friend had a similar problem on his older desktop. if its similar it is a problem with your graphics card overheating or dying. two steps to take would be to open the computer and clean the graphics card cooler thoroughly. And second of all get a friends graphics card and try his in your computer. this will rule out completely any problems with your graphics card. Which i think it is.

    Btw. its not your pc outputting "power saving mode". but instead its the monitor saying power saving mode since your graphics card is crashing and the screen is not recieving a signal and going to standby.
