Power Settings Ignored by Lenovo Yoga 400 laptop

• Did you make any changes to your computer? I dont know.. what kind of changes are you talking about. I only added software.. like Norton Security and a few free MSFT apps.
• Which Build are you currently in? I dont know..probably the latest one. How do i determine "the build"?? I always update windows and pretty sure this is up to date here.
• Which troubleshooting steps did you try? Tried everything that was suggested,..power troubleshooter, update graphics card, set power settings to default, and other things.. nothing worked. Has been a problem for many months.
  How do i do this clean boot? I will need instructions for these things..step by step. i am tired of this machine ignoring the power settings. Need this fixed.

4. Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
5. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
6. Under Shutdown settings, uncheck the Turn on fast startup box.
7. Click on Save changes. This will turn off fast startup.

Restart the system and check if the issue still persists.



We would also like you to open command prompt (Admin) after the PC wakes up. (Type in Windows search
CMD and then right click on it, select Run as Administrator)



Then type the command as mentioned in the /lastwake & /energy
section from this Powercfg command-line
options article.



We await your response.
