    Windows 10 Power and Sleep Settings Being Ignored


    I have my screen and power settings set to Never for both battery and power to keep from timing out.


    However, Windows 10 completely ignores me and powers down / goes to sleep regardless.


    How can this be corrected so that the settings are actually taken?


    Please advise?

    :)

    Screensaver Ignores Power and Sleep Settings

    I have had two PCs that are totally ignoring the Screen settings in Power and Sleep. The Screen setting is set to Never, but the screensaver comes on after a minute or so nonetheless.

    In one of those PCs, the Sleep setting is being followed. Don't know about the other.

    The PCs are custom branded

    • Intel DQ35JOE motherboard on the latest BIOS rev
    • Intel Q8200 CPU
    • 4 x 2GB DDR-800 various brands
    • 1 TB HD
    • WiFi card
    • Windows 10 Pro
    System has been tested for 24 hours with Prime95 and no errors are reported.

    Ran the Power Troubleshooter and all it did was reset the Screen and Sleep settings to the defaults.

    Setting are verified in the Control Panel.

    Any ideas?

    Windows 10 ignores sleep settings

    I am struggling with windows 10 ignoring my sleep settings. After just a few minutes of inactivity (something like 5 min) the computer monitor turns off and the hard drive goes to sleep. I previously followed some forum suggestion to change power mode
    and change it back and reset to defaults which seemed to work for a while, but no longer works for me. I have tried various settings but Windows10 seems to ignore the changes. I am not using a screen saver.

    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.
