Power settings resetting and disabling passwords
Greetings folks,
I'm having two problems with my new Dell XPS 8930, and I suspect they're related.First, the power settings keep reverting to "Power saver." I repeatedly set it on "High Performance," but it frequently switches back for no clear reason. This often happens in the middle of the night, when no user applications are running.
Attempts:
* Monitored CPU / GPU idle temperatures to see if they're running hot. Ruled out due to reasonable temps (41C / 55C).
* Created my own custom plan (matching the "High performance" plan). No effect
* Looked into a way to make the power plan registry settings read-only. Aborted effort before I broke anything
Normally, I wouldn't care too much about the "Power Saver" setting, except that the setting allows the system to go to sleep, which prohibits me from remotely accessing the desktop from TeamViewer. My goal in this case is to ensure that my system never, ever goes to sleep under any circumstances, so I can remote-access it at any time.=================In addition, some mornings when I bring the desktop out of sleep mode, it demands a password.
Attempts:
* A month ago, I followed the instructions here to disable the password screen.
Still, when the computer comes out of sleep (which it shouldn't be doing anyway), the password is demanded. I reviewed the checkbox (see link in previous paragraph), and it remains unchecked. Regardless, I'm forced to enter the password when the system comes out of sleep mode.
My goal is to disable the password requirement completely.Many thanks for any help.
