Build 10547 confusing power&sleep settings
I wanted to change my power and sleep settings for my display.
At first it didn't seem to work. Working through it methodically however, I found there are FOUR places that can be set for the same thing!
(1) Win10 Start/Settings/Display/Power&Sleep. I set it to never
(2) Below that in Additional Power Settings I was taken to the Control Panel. Checking the Preferred Plan settings the screen setting didn't reflect the change above.
(3) From the CP is another option: 'when to turn off display'
(4) Finally there are the "advanced power settings".
This is ridiculous. Surely all I need set is the initial (1) Settings? And this doesn't even include setting the Screen Saver which seems to be over-ridden by the other settings!
Obviously Microsoft have got their knickers in a bit of twist with some settings undertaken in Settings and others still in CP.
