I'm running Windows 10 on Dell Alienware and I've disabled all screen savers, screen is set to turn off at 15 minutes and "sleep after" is set to NEVER! I did that from "Power & Sleep" settings as well as from "Advanced Power settings" panel. But still my PC goes to sleep within few minutes of idle time. It is not consistent with it the idle time either... sometimes it happens around 3 minutes mark and sometimes it takes about 30 minutes.
This time I captured the event logs and here is what i found:
The system is entering sleep.
Sleep Reason: System Idle
Source: Kernel-Power
Keywords: Microsoft-Windows-NDF-HelperClassDiscovery,DCStop
And the previous 3 events were:
The driver \Driver\ACPI for device stopped the power transition.
Reason code is 'Idle'... but the system was idle for just 3 minutes!!
Searched for solutions and everywhere people were talking abou trivial stuff like "check your screen saver", "check your power settings", etc. But in this case, all seems to be good and the PC set to NEVER sleep, but it continues to do the same. Please let me know if there is anything else I should check/set?! Thanks!!
