Windows 10: Windows 10 refuses to sleep

Auto sleep is working for me with Win 10 as a VM.
I got 3 Windows Updates right after I clean installed Win 10.
I haven't got any Windows Updates since then.
I have not seen any requests whenever I checked for them.

 

Make sure all of the other bases are covered. For instance, turn off waking with mouse, remove all power options with network adapter, make sure Homegroup is running properly, and sometimes a web page will prevent sleep so close down all windows before leaving (for now anyways). You need to go through that list I set up on post 167? on our old sleep page. Some of those still bit me on Win10 until I got all of them set properly.

 

Orbital, are we able to submit bugs on Connect with this Preview? I ask because I have only had Win10 (Wowser, I made a rhyme!) on my laptop for about 24 hours and have been out of the house and/or asleep for about half of that time.

 

And take all the fun out of Winders!? Why?

 

@Wyn. Yep, it's a bit like belonging to a "grumpy old man's" club!!

 

I have registered the sticky svchost problem on the feedback app. Several others seem to have the same problem.

 

Yeah, all those things are set but the real problem for me is that win 10 sleep is working perfectly! It sleeps fine with no request registered and it won't sleep when there is a request registered. This is exactly as the designers intended.

But there is just the problem that the svchost request doesn't get cancelled when it clearly should. There seems nothing I can do about that. Tried override but that didn't work - maybe not in right format. Just happened again 40 min ago when updates went through. Totally reliable!

Anyway, this has been registered in feedback so just hope it gets attended to. Soon would be good but certainly before it gets released.

PS I am not moaning. I know what this tech review is all about and I have done my best to document the failure point in my system and have sent the feedback. Win 10 is a fine OS and will be even better at RTM (hopefully with the svchost problem sorted!!!).

 

I seem to remember a thread just like this on 8F...

Windows 10 sleeps just fine for me.

If you're having trouble here are a few tips.

1) Make sure to read a bedtime story which has a happy ending.
2) Fluff up the pillow.
3) Always remember to tuck him in, otherwise he will feel insecure.
4) Mine prefers to sleep with a stuffed Snoopy and Charlie Brown blanket.

I just found my PC awake this morning. :-( The PC wakes itself for maintenance (this is good) but then svchost get stuck in requests and my PC just stays awake. And the override doesn't works. svchost is pearless. XD But still that dawn question bothers me: why some and not others?

I've installed a 3rd party antivirus to avoid receiving too much windows updates... I'll wait and see if this is working.

 

Orbital, click on the Start Button and there's a feedback button at the top right of the popup menu. Click on that and you'll be able to give MS feedback on the issue you're having.

 

It's already done my friend!

 

That makes at least two of us!

 

Ho Kay! I just found the thing today. *Smile

 

Just arrived at home and my PC is asleep! *Smile

Edit: Did a windows update and svchost is back on the requests *Sad

 

And if you leave it, it just adds another request for the next update!
