Windows 10: Windows 11 Power > Sleep settings not working - PC will not go into sleep mode after set times

Hi, Just got a brand new PC and upgraded to Windows 11 as part of the setup. On Windows 11 the PC will not go into sleep mode. I have tried several suggestions but don't want to change much since a brand new PC with little change or installs. Is this a know bug and will MS provide an update/fix?

Computer Sleep Option Missing in Settings

The Settings Power and Sleep menu in Settings should list Screen and Sleep, where Sleep is used to tell when the PC goes to sleep. Sleep is missing, so my computer never sleeps. Fast startup and Hibernate are not enabled.

I used Tutorial Add or Remove Sleep in Power menu in Windows 10 to change the registry while in administrative mode, but sleep still is not seen.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings now lists :1: It was 0 before the change.






I cannot get a large image, so will type
Default REG_SZ (value not set)
ShowHibernate REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (0)
ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)
ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)

I used Option 3 to add sleep using the Group Policy Editor. The steps seemed to work fine, but sleep is still missing.

I’m using a “new” refurbished Dell T3500 workstation with mbr running the current version of win10. I have a number of these computers, and the other all have the normal sleep mode .

Any suggestions? Jim

 

Vista Sleep Mode Setting Questions

in sleep mode, the PC is off. no downloads for you.

2. You wake up by pressing the power button, or using the mouse and keyboard. These settings are controlled in the BIOS. To enter the password, type it on the keyboard and hit enter - if you set it in the BIOS as a wakeup, thats how - if you mean in vista, it will be a normal login screen.

3. there is no photo. 20 minutes of idle.

4. no. its not possible to do anything at all in sleep mode.

 

Vista Sleep Mode Setting Questions

I've just installed Vista newly *Smile

After installing this and that, I transferred my movies from external hdd
to vista. It was gonna take a while so I left the house for some hour.

When I was back my computer was in sleep mode, (which I never used in XP)
and I pressed this and that button and some wriggles of mouse and clicks and even pressed my power button. Soon whichever did the trick, my screen went from black to Resuming... ( or something similar)

But nothing else happened so I used my reset button on my case to
force it to restart and got it back working.

Here are some questions :

1. During Sleep Mode, will my downloads work? Will torrents or just direct downloads from a website continue to download while in sleep mode?

2. How do I properly wake it up from sleep? I've set it up so I have to
enter my account password but I never even got to that screen so had to reset.




3. If you look at the attached photo, there is "Turn off harddisk after" setting. Right now it is at default 20 minutes. Does this mean that my hdd will turn off 20 minutes after going to sleep? Or just 20 miutes of idle?

4. Lastly, if my downloads won't work during default sleep mode setting, can I change the settings shown in the screenshot to make it possible? If so what settings should I change?

Thanks for reading this long and noob questions *Smile
