How can I put my current screen/monitor into sleep mode (e.g. after 2h) and NOT turn it off completely (after 2h) ? When I go to Control Panel--Hardware and Sound ---Power Options and switch for example to my currently active "Balanced" plan then I have the choice: what to do with...

Hi I have used this comb for 2 weeks and had to replace the batteries. I don't know if they were old or used . I was going to replace this combo but another person said he never turns the keyboard or mouse off and gets 6-9 months on one and a year on the other. I do not want a set that requires...

I've just updated my 64-bit Windows 10 system with the Anniversary Update. Everything seems to work OK (fortunately) apart from the Sleep Mode. I have an SSD for the Windows system disk / programs and an HDD for data storage. Previously, if you put the system in Sleep mode, everything stopped...

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.

So for a while my computer would occasionally BSOD if I left it alone for too long (20-30 minutes), but inconsistently enough that it wasn't really an issue since I usually put it in sleep mode when I go somewhere anyways. Over the last week it's started doing it a lot more though, and starting...

I have been having this issue for a couple weeks and it's really frustrating. I have an Acer 591G laptop that came with Windows 10 already installed, i.e. I didn't upgrade from a previous version. I can tell you that this issue only started happening a couple weeks ago, after I bought and...

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...

This is a variant of "Windows 10 won't stay in Hibernation". I've unchecked any tasks with "Wake the computer to perform this task" and in any case there is nothing scheduled for 02:55 and 14:55. Has anyone else experienced this?
