Windows 10 pro. Powersave only goes on after 1min, not in other modes

To avoid misunderstandings, please would you post the response to this command [which identifies your available power modes / states].

Code:

PowerCfg -a

I have a problem my powersave only works in 1 min mode, not 2min or any other modes.

Do you mean a Power plan named PowerSave?

Please explain exactly what you mean by "works" and not working. What happens or does not happen?

Please post a screenshot showing your Power plan settings - Sleep after etc.

If you mean something else please would you explain what and include screenshots to help the explanation.

I also tried the troubleshooter but without any problems found.

I have never seen any reports of the power troubleshooter helping anyone.

Oh, and welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

I don't know. I have never heard of such a problem before.

Perhaps you are running a utility that does something every minute & a half.
I sometimes do. Because I can find it more convenient than changing power plans, I sometimes run a little script that emulates a key press every 30 seconds to prevent my display going off.

I suggest you reboot into Safe mode and see whether or not sleep takes place at the set time.
- If it does then it demonstrates than something non-Windows is causing the problem.

If the problem is also apparent in Safe mode then I suggest using a different user account to see whether or not sleep takes place at the set time.
- If it does then your normal user account is corrupt. You'll have to use a different one.
- If it does not then I suggest running a Repair install [which, despite its name, is a repair operation not a reinstallation].

Best of luck,

Oh, of course, it was a stupid suggestion of mine.

Try another user account and then, if the problem is apparent there as well:-
- Download another copy of the display driver even if it is the same version as the current one
- Uninstall the current driver using DDU

DDU instructions [Ghot - post #7] - TenForums
DDU Guide - WagnardSoft

- Install the display driver

If the problems continues, run a Repair install.


All the best,
Denis
