power settings

In the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings", the "Attributes" has values "0","1","2". I know the "1" means hide the item in Advance power settings, "0" means that show the item, what means the value "2"? does it mean use on laptop? for some keys, the...

When I try to enter sleep mode the screen goes blank, the power light stays on solid for several minutes, then the welcome/sign on screen comes back on. If I sign on and then hit sleep again it works correctly - screen goes blank and power light flashing. Similar thing happens with shutdown -...

Hi. I suddenly got screen saver, I may accidently install or it was included to app, I am not sure. I check windows screen save and power setting there is nothing. How can get to disable/uninstall it. Please help. Thanks.

My computer refuses to Shutdown/Reboot. I exit Windows (64bit Win7 Home), it goes through the normal shutdown process (exits windows, goes through "Shutting down" message, the screen goes black,) but the computer never shuts off. Lights & fans stay on (as does the Num Lock LED on my keyboard.)...

Hi folks, I'm having real trouble diagnosing a persistent blue screen problem. It started about a year ago after upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10. I initially did an upgrade install but have since performed numerous clean installs of win 10. It is a home built system. One of many I have...

I checked the BIOS and just the hard drive timeout is disabled. My power...

I have power settings which make computer go to hibernation on reaching critical battery level, and my critical battery level is set to 30% for on battery. Since yesterday, my PC won't go to hibernation on reaching 30%, instead there is a red crosshair which keeps blinking on the battery...

After the recent update (either on 10th or 24th of August, I can't remember, probably 24th) my computer won't shut down properly sometimes. The screen will go dark and the keyboard and mouse lights will go off, but the chassis and CPU fans are still spinning and the computer LEDs are still on...

Hi I have my power settings set to the normal settings, monitor turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity, computer goes to sleep after one hour. But what I'm seeing is that my monitor goes black after a few minutes of inactivity. It doesn't shut off, the monitor is still on, but it stops...

The sleep mode on my computer doesn't work properly. I go to Start->Power->Sleep and the computer turns completely silent (like it should), but after a few minutes it begins making noise. Why? I have tried to turn off "hybrid sleep mode", but with no luck.

I have spent months trying to diagnose why a couple of my systems will not enter any power save states. Late last year i narrowed it down to the fact that i have several game controllers plugged in. When googling 'Windows 10 joystick sleep' i suddenly became aware i was not alone. It seems now...

I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 a few months ago and all was well until a few weeks ago. I started getting frequent Store Exception Errors and hard drive errors. I ran chkdsk /scan and it found 228kb of bad sectors which hasn't gone up since running it. I tried changing the power...

I've done a fairly cursory search through the forum, and haven't seen my specific issue mentioned, so here goes. I have Win7 and the screensaver is acting weird. Before anyone asks, I've checked all the settings regarding the amount of time before the screensaver comes on, before the computer...

I bought an HP laptop for my daughter for the holidays. Once she started using it the computer was giving us issues, so we sent it back to HP for repairs. Turned out it had a bad power supply or something. Anyhow, I didn't have any issues with it until today when my daughter can't play her...
