Windows 10: updating Nvidia GPU win10 sets display to turn off after 15 min and never wakes up

updating Nvidia GPU win10 sets display to turn off after 15 min and never wakes up every time I update the GTX 960 4 GB VRAM after a few hours win10 will set the display to turn off without any user intervention. The display and pc is set not to sleep hibernate or turn off the display at any interval, but wit10 overrides this action on every update. The display will not come back with any mouse or keyboard presses, in fact, it turns off USB devices also, 360 USB game controller, if I unplug and replug the USB 4 port hub the gamepad does not finish getting installed. if I try to find the pc o

[SOLVED] Windows 10 doesn't (or doesn't always) prompt me to sign-in on wake up even though "require a password" on wake up is set.

FYI. Acer Aspire Switch 10 (SW5-012) 2-in-1 laptop/tablet running Windows 10 Home (clean install).

ISSUE: Windows 10 doesn't (or doesn't always) prompt me to sign-in on wake up even though "require a password" on wake up is set.

SOLUTION: Change "Require sign-in" (see below) to Every Time.

Test conditions.

• Control Panel > Power Options > Require a password on wake

Password protection on wakeup

Require a password (recommended) ç==== (selected)

Don’t require a password

• Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Screen
  
  On battery, turn off after 4 min (default = 4 min).
  
  When plugged in, turn off after 10 min (default = 10 min).
• Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options
  
  Require sign-in
  
  If you’ve been away, when should Windows require you to sign-in again?
  
  choices: Never, Every Time, 1 minute, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min (default = ?)

Test 1. Set “Require sign-in” (see above) to “15 min.”

• If I wake it up too soon after putting it to sleep, I am not prompted to sign-in.
  
• However, if I wait a while to wake it (say 20-25 min for good measure) after putting it to sleep, it prompts me to sign in.
  
  On battery: 4+15 min = 19 min. (so about 20 min)
  
  When plugged in: 10+15=25 min.

Test 2. Set “Require sign-in” (see above) to “Every Time”

• I wait for it to go to sleep (screen turns off), then after 2-3 seconds I wake it. As expected, it now prompts me to sign-in. FYI. The manual for this computer says to wait at least 2 second between sleep and wake.

CONCLUSION: Now that I understand what's happening, I've set "Require sign-in" back to 15 min. as it provides an acceptable balance between Never and Every Time.

Hope this helps someone else. Took me a long time to figure it out.

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

Ramankuar, please explain what you found

1. In BIOS did you see your nVidia GPU

2. In Device Manager were both Graphics cards listed?

3. If you right click your Desktop are nVidia Settings listed on that menu?

4. In Control Panel, is nVidia Settings app listed?
