You can also restore other hidden settings in the Power Options window by following these steps for the corresponding keys under PowerSettings.Īfter trying Fix 1 and finding that Fix 2 and 3 are not something I want to disable and they didn’t help anyway. You may have to repeat these steps (add an “Attributes” DWORD and set the value to “2”) for each of the subkeys under the main Multimedia settings key to enable the options for “When sharing media,” “Video playback quality bias,” and “When playing video.” When you reopen the Power Options window (or change the selected plan from the dropdown menu), the Multimedia settings should be available. Then, double click the Attributes DWORD, type “2” (without quotes) into the value data box, and click OK. Check the value of the DWORD named “Attributes.” If this DWORD does not exist, create it by clicking Edit > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and typing “Attributes” (without the quotes) for the name. In Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\9596FB26-9850-41fd-AC3E-F7C3C00AFD4B. I recommend making a backup of your registry first. Your device may not be configured to show certain settings in Power Options, but you may be able to enable them by making some changes in Registry Editor.

Uncheck the “ Allow this device to wake the computer” box, then select “ OK“.Right-click on the mouse you are using, then choose “ Properties“.Expand the “ Mice and other pointing devices” section.Select the “ Start” button, then type “ device“.Try these steps to prevent the mouse from waking your machine. If you have a sensitive mouse, any vibration near your PC could be keeping your machine awake. If you’re feeling lazy, just hit the “ Restore plan defaults” button and that should toggle all items to where sleeping is allowed in Windows 10. I had to set this to “ Allow the computer to sleep“. In my case, the setting under “ Multimedia settings” > “ When sharing media” was set to “ Prevent idling to sleep“. On the “ Power Options” screen, you want to expand each setting and ensure that they allow the computer to go to sleep mode.Select “ Change advanced power settings“.Select “ Change Plan Settings” next to the option that you have selected.Select “ Additional power settings” in the right pane.Ensure the “ Sleep” setting is set to a desired value.Select the “ Start” button, then select “ Settings” (gear icon).
