1406215 2015-08-09 22:24:00 Has anyone had this problem with Windows 10 not sleeping after upgrade from 7 , I've searched google but still no luck, any ideas would be appreciated PeterQ (16315)
1406216 2015-08-09 23:54:00 Right click on Start, select power options. You make any changes there I think you have to go to the advanced section to do it. CliveM (6007)

1406218 2015-08-10 05:54:00 Had the opposite actually. Disabled both sleep & Hybrid sleep mode and the silly thing still went into it anyway :sleep

Trouble was when it went to sleep I had to crash it to get it going again as both the USB KB & mouse refused to work.

You may find some device is holding it so it wont sleep Go into the device manager, look at the obvious first like network Adapters,Right click the device Under power, make sure "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" ( or similar wording) is ticked.

Note: Its changed wording from previous OS's

1406219 2015-08-10 12:20:00 Yesterday there was no Sleep setting in the power settings, today there is.
Another thing, I could not get Defender to show an Icon on the notification panel. If you go to Defender settings at the bottom is a link "use defender", this turns on the Icon.

Can anyone tell me why in the Control Panel "Backup & Restore" has (Windows 7) after it?
Also why are a lot of the entries in "Group Policy" are applicable to Windows 2000 & XP?

1406221 2015-08-10 21:32:00 Getting confusing as you say "Has anyone had this problem with Windows 10 not sleeping after upgrade from 7", then, "Trouble was when it went to sleep I had to crash it to get it going again".

Perhaps you should reconcile these two opposing statements with a fuller explanation so people will be able to focus on what is actually happening.

Perhaps you should reconcile these two opposing statements with a fuller explanation so people will be able to focus on what is actually happening. peter was quoting me. but the quote didn't work as it should. I had the opposite, it went to sleep when it shouldn't.

Sometimes if a computer wont sleep, there's something running in the background holding it open. You have to kill what ever task that is.

What you can try is open a CMD /Run as administrator, type in powercfg -requests if there's anything running that's going to stop sleep then it should tell you exactly what it is.

if it comes back all clear /None, then theres a system fault someplace.

You can also try the following, its for 8.1, but I don't have time to test on a W10 already late for an appointment.
