Windows 7 Powercfg -Energy error message

[Charlie210]

I am having trouble with my machine not going into sleep mode after the specified time. I ran Powercfg -Energy and got the following message.
System Availability Requests:System Required Request
The program has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep.
Requesting Process
\Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\System32\services.exe

Can someone tell me what this means and how to correct the problem?

I see you have been on Tom's Hardware

It appears some service is requesting to stay awake and not allowing sleep. I am no expert here, but possibly some type of media event, or wireless, or some other device not set to allow for sleep.

You might try running a powercfg -requests command, but it will probably give you the same information you already have. Other commands might be helpful so type powercfg -? to see if anything looks promising.

Maybe someone else will know for sure, but for now I would try changing my power profile to test. Also go through your settings to see if anything is set to not sleep. Some entries for your devices might be in the Device Manager under properties-power management.

If you would like to post the entire report, you can probably open it and take pictures with the snipping tool. Put those pictures in paint if you want to remove any sensitive information, and attach using the paperclip.

What settings did you have in the normal gui access for power control (Control Panel - Power options), before you had problems?
But you should have receieved a much longer and detailed report than that you have posted?
Look in C:\Users\Administrator for a file energy-report.html. If it is there, post it as it will help to find the fault

Listed below is the information you requested. Here is some additional information. Running Win 7 home premium on new HP desktop. The machine will go into sleep mode after the specified time after a reboot. After it wakes up it will not go into sleep mode again until I reboot.

My normal power settings is to sleep after 15 minutes on battery and plugged in but I changed it to 2 minutes in order to test.

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.
S1 Sleep Supported true
S2 Sleep Supported false
S3 Sleep Supported true
S4 Sleep Supported true

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you thought of anything that might be keeping your system awake?

Have you checked the Wireless adapter in Device Manager to make sure it is allowed to sleep?

Do you have anything set to wake up the computer?

You might open Task Manager and look through the Services running, maybe something will pop out.

 

[davehc]

Open The Power Options on your chosen plan - Change Plan settings - Change Advanced settings.
Scroll down to USB settings and select "Enabled". See if it solves the problem.

Thanks to all that responded with recommendations. I have finally solved my sleep problem. I changed my Advanced Power Settings for Multimedia Settings/When Sharing Media to Allow Computer to Sleep. This was not the default setting in the power plan. Everything works fine now.
