    Windows 10 will not sleep


    My PC is set with screensaver after 5 minutes, and sleep after 15. For a while I've noticed that it is not going to sleep automatically. Now, it will not sleep even if I explicitly instruct it to. I do that by clicking Start, and then the Power button.When I do that, the screensaver kicks in, but the power switch on the case remains steady. It should blink while asleep. When I return to the PC and move the mouse, I find that the Start menu is still displayed.

    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

    Windows 10 will not sleep

    Windows 10 wont stay in sleep mode

    yes, it was already off.

    its waking up one hour after it sleeps for about 2 minutes, then sleeping again. How the eff can i track what it does in that time if nothing shows in powerCFG or the event log?
