Firefox stopping windows from entering sleep.

Hi all,

 

Just recently noticed my PC is not going to sleep after an update. I've checked the power settings, they are all the same from before. What else can I check?

I find out that downloading stuff & shared files in home network will awake the pc

Try:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Power > PowerSettings > 238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20 > 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0

 

Set DWORD to 2. 

 

Or powercfg -attributes SUB_SLEEP 7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0 -ATTRIB_HIDE

if you prefer cmd to regedit.

I ran powercfg -requests and it seems like the nvidia audio driver is keeping it from sleeping. Just gonna update it and see how it goes.

Alright, I've figured it's firefox that is keeping it from sleeping and it's connected to the audio driver. I've tried to override it but doesn't look like it's working. Yes, I could close firefox but I do use it for some downloads that often take hours.
