Ahh.. Windows 10...
Last night I discovered yet another wiggy item : all of a sudden, right out of the blue, my PC wasn't going into sleep mode when idled.
Last year I went to great lengths to adjust every possible variable in order to get my PC to nod off, taking my interface with it. I also
did this for my screen display, which is another procedure, and can be confused with the PC sleep procedure. Everything has been working fine,
until yesterday. After breakfast this morning, I reviewed all of my previous settings and found them to be exactly as I'd left them last year -
so why the insomnia..?
My last update was slightly over 1 month ago, and I know my PC's been sleeping since then, so it's not an immediate effect of an update - unless
it was some kind of time bomb that just fired up yesterday. Anyway though, I had to go back through my settings and go even deeper than before
to toggle off a little switch which was not allowing my PC to enter sleep mode.
I did a restart after, just to be sure it took.
Here's the procedure if you need it :
