Ahaaaaaaaa. I did not previously realize that https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/hardware/design/dn642106(v=vs.85) (The 2010 edition of Power Policy Configuration and...
Thanks, those are all quite helpful, but they follow the usual practice of listing args and options or API calls with terse descriptions of function. What I'm needing is an actual narrative that...
Aha, thanks. That explains some of the strange stuff I see happening, but alas not all of it. Windows power configuration is a huge morass, and there is no authoritative source that explains it in...
Aha, thanks! Actually, I created a custom power scheme that may or may not be identical to ultimate performance, but I think I will be able to go from there, just finding the right guid in the...
Thanks, but I'm looking for the registry location of the setting value, not for the powercfg command that sets it.
My problem is that the control panel ui for setting the lid action does not include hibernate as one of the options, even though hibernate is in fact enabled and a hibernate time is set in power...
I'm a little confused. I am reading this thread to mean that the hack will disable the media keys on my keyboard for Chrome? I.e., the media keys will no longer for example adjust volume?
I like...
It appears that that is not what actually happens. I have not done a careful experiment yet, but it appears that what happens is that after the unattended timeout is set back to 2 minutes by a...
Thanks!

Hey Shawn.
I was thinking about this a little and realized that another reason I don't like downloading the bat file just to look at what's in it is the risk of...
I have my doubts that proper sleep is going to be available any more, and if it is, MS will do their best to avoid it. Every "improvement" MS has made in Windows since XP has been a huge pain in the...
The note box says which keys are changed, but not to what values they are changed. It would be helpful if it also included the new values it's setting.
Hi Shawn.
Could you please add to the tutorial the actual registry values that the bat files set?
This saves me the trouble of the process of downloading and inspecting the bat files. Also,...
Thanks.
Note that i make a distinction between sleep and "sleep." "'sleep'" is what MS calls S0.
I forget whether my machine dims the display or not. I don't find the dimming useful, since...
Thanks! I'll take that to mean 2 minutes of unattended idle after the point at which it was set to 2 minutes.
Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. I guess the only way to do what I want is to create a task scheduler item that's triggered by return from hibernation.
The problem I am trying to solve is in...
Ok, thanks.
0. I never do backups on battery, so nothing that relates to battery should make any difference for my backup hibernation problem.
1. The reason for staying connected to the...
Thanks.
Hmmm... 30 seconds. That's not good. Yes, I will add that feature to power options and fix the parameter to something reasonable like 10 minutes.
On the USB hub, that is the hub that...
Regarding not working, yes what I observe is that I find the machine in a hibernated state. When I wake it manually, even many hours or days later, the backup resumes. I should however clarify what...
The event log is the event viewer > windows logs > System
The entry I was referring to is:

Ok, thanks.
You've given me quite a few assignments, so let me do them one at a time. Here is the powercfg -qh results.352038
Note that I have returned the settings to their "normal" state...
All I was able to find was a group policy thing, which I tested and it doesn't help:
Allow applications to prevent automatic sleep (plugged in) (from Allow applications to prevent automatic sleep...
Thanks.
I'm still a little confused. Say I set System unattended sleep timeout to zero, and hibernate after is set say to 30 minutes.
Now I hibernate the machine, some time later the wake timer...
Yes, latest bios was updated just a few days ago. Same with Windows. In fact, if I didn't know that the problem has been occurring for at least a month (based on backup file created, modified...
Sorry. Too many things going on at once.

BTW, the bat file includes a call to the backup prog between the powercfg /h on|off calls. It's not independent, in case there was some confusion. But that should not matter. At this point I am...
