Windows 10: Windows 10 went to sleep overnight despite being set to never sleep

I left my laptop (MSI GE65 Raider 9SF) downloading stuff overnight and went to sleep, at around 2 AM. When I woke up, the laptop had gone to sleep. I checked the event viewer and it went to sleep at 5:31 AM. Here's the event:

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> - <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331c3b3a-2005-44c2-ac5e-77220c37d6b4}" /> <EventID>42</EventID> <Version>3</Version> <Level>4</Level> <Task>64</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x8000000000000404</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2019-12-21T05:31:23.558914900Z" /> <EventRecordID>11359</EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID="4" ThreadID="2196" /> <Channel>System</Channel> <Computer>MSIDani</Computer> <Security /> </System> - <EventData> <Data Name="TargetState">5</Data> <Data Name="EffectiveState">5</Data> <Data Name="Reason">7</Data> <Data Name="Flags">0</Data> <Data Name="TransitionsToOn">1</Data> </EventData> </Event>

How is it possible? I closed the lid, but it's set to never go to sleep when the AC is plugged in, neither after a certain time nor when closing the lid. I mean, I guess it's possible that the electricity randomly went out overnight, but I seriously doubt it...

Windows 10 sleep bug-goes to sleep despite no-sleep settings

Updated one system from 8.1 to 10, and since then I'm seeing the system go to sleep within minutes of stepping away from the keyboard, despite my preferences being set to turning off the monitor in 30 minutes, and they PC (and even hard drive) never.

I found a complain about similar behavior on 8.1 after waking it up from sleep...I never saw that, but this is occurring after it wakes up from sleep.

Soooo this definitely is a bug, makes sleep mode worthless. Not sure if it's being caused because it wasn't a clean install, or some driver or just Windows 10...?

 

Windows 10 Falls Asleep Despite "Never" Sleep Settings

Hi Tarantino,

Regarding your concern, it is most likely to be caused by a scheduled task. We suggest that you check your
Task Scheduler for unwanted scheduled tasks. Kindly do the following steps below before 10PM:

• Type task scheduler on the search bar.
• Click on Task Scheduler.
• Under Actions, click on Display All Running Tasks.
• Once All Running Tasks pops up, kindly check for a scheduled sleep that is set to trigger every 10PM.
• Select the scheduled sleep, then press End Task.

Once you're done with the steps above, kindly check if your computer will still go to sleep at 10PM.

Let us know if you need further assistance with your concern.
