Title: Windows 10 will not sleep,shutdown nor screen saver work
Post by: 68falcon on January 27, 2019, 11:39:22 AM
I have gone to settings in windows 10 and they are set to 10 minutes turn off and 15 minutes sleep. As stated the screen saver does not work either. Clicked on additional settings and Balanced is checked. Tried restore defaults, no luck.  Any help appreciated

I'd start by pressing the Shift button while shutting down using the Shut Down in the Start menu. Then start normally. That would bypass the Fast Boot feature and any remnants of Hibernation, both of which can save unwanted glitches over a default boot procedure. I don't like the Sleep function either other than during the day if you need to visit your computer every hour or so. For the full day or night I'd rather shut it down completely with Fast Boot disabled. That's just my opinion based on what I see as a household PC tech.

A lot of issues I've had with W10 are from a background update requiring a restart. First thing I do now is just reboot.
