    Have been having an issue with computer going to sleep after 15 min of inactivity. I set a custom power plan, but it keep reverting back to 15 min sleep mode automatically. This has been happening on Windows 7 and 10 machines.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand that you are facing issues with the Windows 10 Sleep, we will look into this for you. However, in order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    • What is the make and model of your system?
    • Was there a major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren't facing this issue?


    Meanwhile, this issue could be related to the Hybrid sleep and the Fast Startup. Hence, I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it works for you.



    Steps to turn off Hybrid Sleep:

    1. Click on Start icon.
    2. Type Control Panel and press Enter.
    3. Click on Power Options, then click on Change plan settings.
    4. Click on Change advanced power settings and expand
      Sleep
      option.
    5. Now expand Allow hybrid sleep and then change settings to
      Off.
    6. Click on Apply and then OK.


    Steps to turn off Fast Startup:

    1. Click on the Start icon.
    2. Type Control Panel and press Enter.
    3. Click on Power Options.
    4. Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
    5. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
    6. Under Shutdown settings, uncheck the Turn on fast startup box.
    7. Click on Save changes. This will turn off fast startup.

    Restart the system and check if the issue still persists.



    We would also like you to open command prompt (Admin) after the PC wakes up. (Type in Windows search
    CMD and then right click on it, select Run as Administrator)



    Then type the command as mentioned in the /lastwake & /energy
    section from this Powercfg command-line
    options
    article.



    We await your response.
