Problem description: If I manually put my computer to sleep, everything works fine. If I am logged in, it doesn’t matter what I put in the power plan settings (I’ve had both screen and PC at one minute for a while), it never puts itself to sleep. If I switch to my daughter’s profile—even without logging out myself—then it’ll sleep on its own just fine. This has been happening for easily a year. Attempted fixes: I’ve looked at the registered power requests, and there aren’t any. I’ve disabled various programs like MSI Afterburner and Argus Monitor in case they interfered. The only thing left in my login items is Dropbox, in case I had something started there that was messing up. Recent changes: the opposite, really: I recently replaced the motherboard with an ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (Wi-Fi), and for a little bit it went to sleep properly. After about a week it stopped working again. -- Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, up to date including NVIDIA drivers. System specs: 3950x, 32GB PC3200 RAM, Micron and Samsung M.2 NVMe drives (the Samsung is a new addition with the new motherboard). 3090 with 2 monitors attached (Alienware 32” 1440p ultra-wide and another 27” 1440p gaming monitor), Naga mouse, Logitech keyboard (had a WASD earlier in this saga). Location: Canada I have Googled and read the FAQ: Oh boy yes

Make sure W10 is fully updated and make sure you're on the latest motherboard BIOS.

Thanks for the reply! W10 is up to date, but I’ll check the BIOS when I get back. I feel like it’s not even trying to sleep, because it works manually for me, and automatically as another user. Is there a way to reset all power-related things I might have set on my user? Delete my personal power scheme or something?

Zogo posted:Yeah, open cmd prompt and type powercfg -restoredefaultschemes Thanks, gave that a shot. I had a weird entry in -waketimers that a bunch of people had reported trouble with: code:Also updated my BIOS, so we'll see if things are working now. I'll do a repair install next if not, I guess!

I figured it out! I tried installing a fresh copy of Windows 11 on a spare partition, and it had the same problem, so I realized it had to be a device I had attached. A bit of binary searching with a 1 minute sleep timer pointed the finger at my DS4, and indeed after unplugging its charging cable from the computer it sleeps properly. Weird that nothing told me that the device was preventing sleep, but at least I solved it eventually.
