How to determine 'inactive"TimeFor mode 'sleep'?

I would like to know how Windows Vista determines the 'lazy' time until it goes into sleep mode. If I put the time to 30 minutes, I understand that it goes into mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. But how does Windows determine inactivity? This means no keyboard no mouse activity? Or it means no activiity CPU usage?

For example, the execution of a task that takes 45 minutes, the timer of 30 minutes begins after 45 minutes or it starts as soon as I start this task? Thank you.

Hi Vett,

This happens because of the input (keyboard, mouse) devices. Some screensavers can also cause Windows Vista to not go to sleep.

    I regret that none of these steps seems to fix your problem, it's frustrating. Here are some more that you can try to see if the problem is resolved or changes in some way:

    1. Installation/update antivirus application and definitions, then run a virus in Windows scan check that no virus or malware
    2. Disabling hybrid sleep in Windows
    3. Disabling the requirement for password during the resumption of the mode standby
    4. Try a different power source

Putting average here 00 after 0 MINUTES of a job, (copy, print, etc) the machine will go into mode 'SLEEP'. Which only affect the response time of the machine (will be more) when you send a job to her.

    Hi Phil.Ganchev,
     
    Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
     
    The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
     
    I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
     
    a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.

    (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.

    c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
    (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

  • How to turn off the LCD on my T420i screen/monitor without spin mode sleep?

    I have been using an Ideapad Y450 before this T420i. I love the Fn + F2 shortcut that I turn off the screen without turning to the mode "sleep" or sth like that. It still works as awaken, only the monitor is off, it is still continue to play the music or to continue the download. The display should be activated by moving the mouse or type on the keyboard, but only when you click Fn + F2 again. How can I do that on this new computer? T420i? Or is it not possitive to do? I really want to be able to turn off the screen without turning off or turning to sleep.

    On my T400, I can choose Fn + F3 settings, press the combination to see if you have this:

    Once you set it to "Turning the display off", in the future, you would be able to quickly shut down.

  • How to ensure the backup of Windows 7 starts and runs until the end on a laptop which is mode standby, or could be put in mode 'sleep' when the lid is closed.

    Hello

    Many of us with laptops with Windows 7 would like to ensure that, when a Windows backup is scheduled, it starts successfully and goes to full completion, regardless of whether the phone is first 'sleep', or if the user of the laptop close the lid of the laptop, which would normally the laptop mode 'sleep'.  In other words, how to backup Windows or Windows 7 be configured to wake from mode "sleep" and prevent it from sleep mode, when a backup is scheduled and actively running?

    I saw a way to schedule a task that will wake the computer, but I'm looking for something more intelligent than that.  I'm looking to see if Microsoft has already thought this through and allow you to pre-configure operating system such as we have no additional installation software.

    Thank you

  • How to usb power turn off mode 'sleep'? Yes were asked and no, it has not yet responded.

    until someone says "its been answered" and "look at other messages ' u try these directions and let me know if it works. cause I did, and if you're smart enough, I'm sure you can understand my result of posting me my question as well.     I had older versions of windows (xp and 98) and when the computer was put in mode 'sleep' it wouldn't keep turn on/off devices.  Now in windows 7, it's a totally different story. What ould iw as is for the usb power switch off appliances like the old way. Francis IS at ALL possible? because of everything I've seen here, it DOES not work.  No, changing the thing selective usb to allow disabling power management GOLD DOES not work. NO, by checking or unchecking the checkbox in the Device Manager, etc., for the USB ROOT HUB to "allow the device to turn off the power" or whatever it says DOES NOT work either.  All what I want to know is, is possible to do this, turn off the power for something as simple as an external fan or a hard drive will be TURNED OFF like it USE TOO. Please do not post instructions on how to do the 2 steps that I mentioned. Really annoying because it's what keeps popping up for everyone to do and then you see inside people answer "N" T WORK."   And also do without consulting me the manufacturer for support, cause this is the problem of MICROSOFT, is not a problem of the Lim.  A lot of people have this problem, microsoft turns, find something here...
