[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1304042, member: 141969"] If I remember correctly, Microsoft introduced a new sleep timeout setting in Windows 10 (or perhaps Windows 8), the [b]System unattended sleep timeout[/b]. I don't know how this interacts with the old [b]Sleep after[/b]. To see these settings, use the [b]powercfg[/b] command with the [b]/qh[/b] option (I think that "qh" stands for "query hidden"). On my Windows 10 laptop it produces 1400 lines of output, so I suggest redirecting the output to a file: [INDENT]powercfg /qh >powercfg.txt[/INDENT] On my Windows 10 laptop: [LIST] [*]"Sleep after" is set to zero (disabled) on AC (i.e. mains power), and 15 minutes on DC (i.e. battery). [*]"System unattended sleep timeout" is set to 2 minutes on both AC and DC. [/LIST] I don't know whether these are the cause of your problem, but worth checking, I think. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
