[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1178415, member: 128337"] It was certainly not normal for WMC/Win 7 to wake up fully for a scheduled recording, it definely used Away mode I'm less sure about MP1/Win 7 as I only used it for a short changeover period prior to Win 10. Also as mentioned earlier it does use Away mode if I put it to sleep when a recording is in progress. A further update is that when it wakes for a scheduled recording it does not idle (timeout) back to sleep, the Windows screensaver is activated on its timeout but the system continues to stay awake rather like it would if playing Radio from MP!:( The idle to sleep definitely does work either if just the desktop is idle or if MP is open but not doing anything. So it does seem to me that the reason for no Away mode on resume from sleep to make a recording is due to some activity within MP rather than an issue with the Windows power settings. Something is not right. Regards Joe [/QUOTE]
