• How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen?

  Original title: How to sleep in the login screen?

  How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen? Currently, on the login screen, white screen, but the computer is still running. Sleeping would save a lot of energy because the computer is used most of the time.

  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)

• Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

  Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
  using Windows 7 sp1

  Original title: usb

  Hello Fred,.

  Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

  1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

  2 do a reset power coercive.

  1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
  2. Unplug all USB devices.
  3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
  4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
  5. Then install the battery.
  6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
  7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

  The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

  3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

  I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

  Kind regards

• Satellite P10 automatically goes to sleep after 15 minutes

  My Satellite P10 automatically goes to sleep after 15 minutes. This is a setting that is controlled by Toshiba or the Console of Toshiba power management settings.

  When I change the settings it the system will always standby after 15 minutes. When I go into Control Panel control/Performance and Maintenance/Power Options, it tells me to go to the Toshiba power management to change the settings, but I still see the parameters in grey indicating the standby time of 15 minutes.

  But in the Toshiba power management, I can't seem to be able to adjust the sleep settings, so that they work effectively. There must be something for her...

  Can someone help me understand?
  Thank you very much
  Lerak

  Hello

  The fact is that if Toshiba energy saving is installed on the laptop Toshiba, the Microsoft OS power management doesn't work. You must use the Toshiba power saver to change settings.
  In power save you will find different modes.
  If the power supply is on if you need to change the power mode in the power section. Here, you simply mark the mode full power and click for details.
  You can now find mode properties. Select the Power Saver tab.
  You will find various controls that are responsible for different functions. Change the settings on the standby system controller.

• Monitor sleep after 5 minutes

  Hello

  My monitor has all of a sudden going to sleep after 5 minutes, even if I set it to "never" in my power management. I can't find anywhere where it says go to sleep in 5 minutes. If anyone can help?

  Kind regards

  KK

  In addition to power management, check the settings of the screen saver.  Right click on the desktop and choose personalize, then click screensaver at the bottom right.  Make sure it is set to "none" instead of something like 'black screen '.

  In addition, even if you have the timeout set to never monitor in power management, also check the setting "change when the computer sleeps" on the left side.

• Windows 8 Pro will sleep after 60 seconds of inactivity

  I just upgraded via a clean install of Windows 8 Pro. Now, the computer to standby / sleep after 60 seconds of inactivity. Interestingly, this problem occurs only once the machine has already gone to sleep once in this feeding cycle. In other words, if I start from a cold, start the machine will follow the diet plan appropriate (screensaver after 10 minutes, sleep after 2 hours) until what he went to sleep once, after which it will go to sleep every 60 seconds of inactivity.

  The system event log indicates "42 Kernel Power event: the system between sleep.". Reason to sleep: System Idle. "But it does after one minute of inactivity.

  I have reset all electrical energy plans, I created my own power management. Hybrid sleep is turned off. I have run the checker (sfc/scannow) system files and I've searched the forums largely unanswered.

  It is a customized desktop machine never had this problem on Windows 7, this is a new behavior for windows 8.

  So, after a lot of digging and try a lot of things, the solution below worked for me. But if someone can verify it worked for them, that would be great:

  It seems that maybe Windows to view the return of sleep as a remote activation which apparently expires to slow more quickly than the other wake ups. To change this feature, delete the following registry key: (perhaps using the power button to go back to sleep as suggested would be a work-around?)
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-B07B-33eb785aaca0\DefaultPowerSchemeValues
  To do this, Win Key + R (displays the run menu), and then type "regedit.exe" and navigate to the location of the key above. For more security, you need to save (export) this key before you delete it.
  Alternatively, you can change each of the secondary keys instead of remove them. Each corresponds to one of the power management. If you choose ACSettings you choose a behavior for when the machine is connected, the DCSettings are for the battery power. If you change the key switch 'decimal' value is in seconds and can be changed to any value you choose.

• display sleep after 1 minute, how can I increase it?

  view sleeps after only 1 minute.  How can I increase it?

  Some here have the same complaint - usually is that the screen saver is set to one minute and none are selected.     Right click on desktop, choose personalize, and bottom right of the window that opens is the screen saver settings.

  Or it could be that your Sleep function is defined on a minute... which these parameters are Power Options in Control Panel.    But you said "show" and did not say that his sleep and the lights will Flash.

• Why my monitor goes black after a minute?

  I have my standby power setting to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes when it is plugged.  But if I don't move the mouse or press a key for a minute, the screen goes black.  It's very embarrassing, especially if I watch a video.

  Is there another setting somewhere that says monitor going black after a minute of no activity?

  Thank you

  PAM

  Hi Pam,.

  Here's another setting worth it.

  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Personalize.  Click the link to screensaver at the bottom right.  In the next window, adjust the time before the screensaver kicks in the drop "Wait" to a more acceptable value.  Click on apply, then Ok to save the change of the parameter.

  Kind regards

• Why CF11 seems to sleep after no access in a few minutes?

  I used CF10 and my site response time was fast, especially on my local development machine.  I upgraded my development and live servers CF11 and both seem to have a delay in the first bout.  It seems to be customer and possibly specific browser.  If I walk for about 10 minutes and come back, then when I try to load my site (on my local machine) it takes about 10 seconds to load.  As long as I continue to use it is fast and responsive, but if I walk 10 minutes again and come back, it seems to have to wake up.

  Is there a setting I can adjust?  Is anyone else seeing this?

  I'll also do note that even if a Web site that I am developing is fast and responsive, as soon as I try to access another Web site using the same IIS and CF11 then there a wait time.  It's like this is to find something with the browser until it's ready to charge.

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
  on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
  strange problems). You said McAfee but I left this matter in the resolution of problems, then you might see
  how important it is. McAfee can cause or worsen the problem, so I uninstall it and run the McAfee
  Removal tool to be sure, don't let any debris. For more information, see the following message.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.
