[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1248143, member: 109222"] Hi. Absolutely clear. As long as PowerScheduler is deactivated Windows don't know nothing about scheduled recordings. If you deactivate PS you need to add every scheduled recording to Windows Taskplaner by hand... But PS definitely is not the reason why your system may never go to standby... You can try this: First shutdown all programs, incl any MP clients, Browsers, Downloaders,... literally anything that is no system task or service... Just to be sure no other running program is blocking the standby. Then open a Shell (Command Prompt) and type: Now a list of all that request the system to stay awake... There are 6 different areas. For a successful standby none of those areas should contain anything excerpt for the note "none" ("nothing" or similar, I only can see them in German, there it is "Keine") Example: Here is a task running that prevents standby. It's named "DontSleep". The name is program so it only runs to block standby. It's started from Media-Buddy and prevents the system from going to sleep while Media-Buddy is transcoding videos (or similar). Once it is finished the "DontSleep" process is killed and the system can go to sleep. Very handy when you want to do many transcoding at night. Once finished the system goes to sleep without you doing anything..... If you have stopped all programs as told it should look like: (Keine = none and AUSFÜHRUNG = Execution in English) If there still is something left, then your system's energy management is not properly working and it can not go to sleep. Most often the "bad guys" are some drivers (normally listed under "System") so you can see where you need to start fixing... If this fails also you've tried anything to fix the issue you still can use the setting that PowerScheduler plugin forces the system to sleep. This is only a workaround for faulty or bad configured systems but it always works even if some nasty drivers are preventing standby in general... But you definitely should try to get Windows itself in a state that it can handle the standby properly... [/QUOTE]
