Windows 10: Windows 10 2004 modern sleep leaves HDD on

Hi, my PC has a primary SSD and a secondary HDD. With this holy modern sleep thing, which cannot be deactivated anymore, the secondary HDD stays on even if I manually put the PC to "sleep". It's ridiculous. I really hope someone can help me with this.

Also, I activated through registry the HDD sleep timeout option but that's not the point, when my laptop is plugged in I want the HDD to stay on BUT it must go to sleep when I put the PC in standby mode.


Ok with the new modern stuff but the user must have the option to choose

No sleep on SSD but sleep HDD ?

Hi guyz, the question is not exactly for me but for few friends. My main computer only have SSDs and my HTPC run 24/7 for few things like torrent so it never sleep HDD btw.

The main thing is about TRIM and/or garbage collection. Its usually better not to sleep your SSD to let the trim/GC do its job but if you ask windows to sleep or not the hard disk, windows seems to do it for every drive in the system so you end up never sleeping your HDD if you dont want to sleep your SSD. If they do nothing, HDD are better to sleep IMO.

Pics of the thing.




If you guyz have an idea or a tweaking that allow HDD sleeping but leave the SSD awake to let the TRIM/GC do its job, ill appreciate it ! ( mostly my friends *Smile )

 

windows 10 black screen after update and after leaving PC to sleep?

I've tried the steps you suggested but they don't seem to work. The black screen I'm facing is only when i try to shut down or leave my PC to sleep and its completely unresponsive no cursor or anything. I've tried things others have suggested but they don't
seem to work, Is there anything else?

Thanks for your help so far!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
