Windows 10 goes to sleep every 3 hours

[sgibbers17]

I can not seem to get my windows 10 desktop to not got to sleep.  It goes to sleep about every 3 hours.  I have everything in the power and sleep setting set to never even in the advanced settings.  I am trying to mine with this PC and it is very annoying that I have to keep waking it up.  This problem has been happening before I started mining yesterday so that is not the issue.

 

I have a Asus Crosshair hero VI with a Ryzen 1700x.

If your Windows options are all set correctly, I would look into the Schedule tasks to see if something was triggering the sleep.

What can I say, your computer is a sleepy-head!

 

But seriously, make sure that Hibernate is disabled in the advanced options.

@GoodBytes Hibernate was disabled in the advanced options.

 

@wkdpaul As far as I can tell there is no schedule tasks causing it.

 

@MikeSK I gave the regedit a try and set my unattended sleep timeout to 0 and I will see if that fixes it in the morning.

 

The only other thing I can possible think it might be is if there is some BIOS setting that can be causing this.

 

Thanks.

Go into the power options and click on the restore plan default button, it might fix it.

1) Did you check your event viewer for notifications, failures and warnings near the time of the system going asleep?

2) Do you have a screen saver setup?  Check its settings?

3) Do you have a UPS with UPS power management software installed?

Did you check if you have setup any group policies related to this?
