Office Won power options' don't hold

Win7 Home Premium, SP1; Dell desktop

I have seen several articles in the Knowledge Base with reference to problems with food Options in Vista and Windows 7. I even offered a patch to download. I thought I had my favorites all the but cannot find the fix. Tried to look for the basis of knowledge once again, but does not use the correct search terms. Apparently, most of the problems occur with laptops, etc. that run on batteries, but mine is a desktop computer. I don't care if my PC will sleep or not, but really want my monitor turns off after 10 or 15 minutes. After you set the Power Options, it will work a couple of times - the monitor turns off and the drive goes to sleep - but then it stops working. Anyone have all the solutions or know how to find one in the Knowledge Base?

I would like suggestions. Thank you!

I think you are saying that you put in the power settings do not work after a few uses, i.e. the display & hard disk turn off at the time you told them in the beginning, but then quit to do what they are asked at a later stage.

However, since you have now confirmed, the correct settings are still displayed in correctly in the advanced power management settings.

In this case then I agree that the link I gave you is not appropriate.

I think that the first no account required to these symptoms, should be check the updated drivers.

Go to Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], right click on the Device Manager & select run as Admin.

Make sure that you have an internet connection.

Select your screen, right click and select Update driver.

Select your hard drive, right click and select Update driver.

You can also run the Control Panel, Troubleshooting, Troubleshooting of power , but everything he has ever done for me, it is arguing the draw on how long I set myself until my screen turns off.  It is also at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Power-troubleshooter

- - - - - -- - -

I don't think that powercfg will help you a lot.  If you use it just to declare a list of properties so you can manually check through the list to see if expected parameters are saved correctly.  I think they will be your comments.

Make sure that you are in the power plan you're investigating and then enter in a command prompt:

powercfg - qh >yourusername\ThisPlanProperties.txt C:\Users\

Repeat this to give you something to compare to.  Then switch to the balanced power management & enter in a command prompt: -.

powercfg - qh >yourusername\BalancedPlanProperties.txt C:\Users\

[in addition, the argument - q is documented but qh - isn't; - qh just made sure the 'hidden' properties are included in the output of powercfg.]

Open text files & paste each in a column of a worksheet calculation, so you can see them side by side [you may need to insert a few cells here & it just well aligned].  Then look through them the entries you want and look through the properties of the plans using the normal Control Panel, power, management settings advanced road as well to help you understand what each one is.

To understand better entries, you can also refer to PMPolicy_Windows.docx, see the power policy Configuration and deployment in Windows.  This document will make you want to tear your hair out if you look now, but will make more sense once you've seen the list of properties produced by powercfg.

  • Satellite P10 804: Toshiba Power Options - how to disable Hibernation

    Model SP10 - 804

    How to turn off the Hibernation feature?

    The 'Enable Hibernation' box is checked and grayed out so I can't uncheck it!
    I don't use this feature and would like to delete the hiberfil.sys file that is beyond 1 GB.

    I understand that by disabling the hibernation, this file should remove. I read about it here:
    http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/Hiberfil-sys-XP.html

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I presume that the Toshiba Power saver utility has been installed on your system.
    In this case, the windows own power options are disabled and the TPS control the hibernation and the day before.

    You can switch to the mode of power window in Control Panel-> power options control.
    Here, you have to choose to another scheme of power as the Toshiba power saver.
    Otherwise, you can remove the GST from the system!

    However, in my opinion the hiberfil.sys has no bad influence on the system and it is really not necessary to delete that file.
    On my system, the file size was never 1 GB.

  • Malfunction of Power Options

    I have an off dysfunction with an option setting to change. I set my screen to never stop, but it spontaneously returns to the default setting of 15 minutes without any apparent reason showing. He did this more often with time, which occur almost daily now. There is no model when the display turns off, so I don't know when the parameter returns. I ran sfc/scannow with nothing found, and I ran 2016 Bitdefender internet security and Malwarebytes didn't find anything. Someone out there have any ideas why this might be happening and what I could try before reinstalling windows 7? It almost seems as if there is a corrupted file or malware as possible at the origin of this, but so far I found nothing and I'm not all that computer so I've pretty much exhausted my meager resources.

  • Power Options and reset randomly sleep mode settings.

    It turns out that windows 7 will change ALL its parameters of power in itself! I'll let him sleep a few nights, come home and wake up... only to see my login screen. (I have the normally disabled option in power options). But all my work is always there, so the machine does not restart (or turn off and just resume hybrids) is for sure in s3. Power options check and everything is set crazy, not all back to the default values for either.

  • PC goes mode sleep when the Power Options are set for ever, etc. also can not wake up

    Hi, I read the other posts on this topic, but my problem seems a little different.

    I am running Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer and I tried to run chkdsk and also the Dell diagnostics that I have some problems hard drive; However, it gets so far and the pc goes into mode 'sleep' causing me even worse problems that chkdsk/diagnoses are halfway through a volume. The pc has done this on and off tension for awhile, but hopefully not when something critical is running, even if it is a nuisance.  I did all the steps recommended here as ensure my Power Options are set, etc., but he always does.

    In addition, when the pc goes to sleep, I can't wake him up by pressing the power button or any key on the keyboard.

    I've been in contact with Dell and they said that it's a software problem.

    Someone can suggest something else I can do (stop) the computer mode 'sleep' and also how to wake him.

    Thank you.

    Make sure you have no management utility of the power of the machine to a PC running.  Your symptoms resembles those to have the utility Samsung "Fast start" running - find on the start menu, all programs & open, and then click the Disable setting [or simply uninstall it as it doesn't do anything for you that you can't do it yourself].

    Dear all

    I recently bought a Toshiba NB 200-122 Mini Netbook, I tried to use all the power options (full power)... always shows 15% battery (charge) even if I kept it charging for a day in hibernation mode... (when connected to the power unit).

    Other laptops would be fully load 100% when it is connected to the unit of power for one day...

    Why the netbook battery is slow or not clean load?...
    Or other options with her... Or having to drain the battery completely and use it...

    Could someone suggest me some advice about this...

    Thank you

    regards Sarah

    Hi Sarah,.

    I agree with the user above. You should try a BIOS update you can find the Toshiba site. Before applying it, close all programs running also your antivirus and firewall and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

    In the worst case you battery is damaged or some cells in it. You can get a spare to an authorized service provider.
