Question Tech Support: Computer not responding to the keyboard/mouse at login screen/screen saver Question Windows 10 reboots in middle of the night while I'm sleeping Is there a way to stop Voicemeeter from disrupting my computer's sleep? My questions: Why does the fan cause the system to take an exact interval longer to sleep and can this be changed? I'll have to go back through that list and see what was causing it.Īnyway, since it is working now, is there a way to get this program to not prevent Windows from sleeping? I would hate to have to turn it off every time, I might as well just manually set the computer to sleep, defeating the purpose. Also, it will come up as a program preventing system idle when doing a powercfg -requests command, though tried to see if the system would sleep without it active before I posted the original question here, so it wasn't exclusively it preventing the computer from sleeping. Now as for the cause: I am not 100% sure what caused this issue as it isn't the fan, however I do use a program called Voicemeeter which redirects audio channels. Now I'm wondering, why does having the fan attached make the system take the same amount of time longer to sleep and is there any way for me to prevent the fan from interfering (maybe having that port be ignored somehow)? I tried both ways again and I got the same times for both tests-1:30 without the fan and 2:50 with the fan. Then I tried plugging it back in, and the computer also went to sleep but this time after 2 minutes and 50 seconds. I do have a small fan that is connected to a USB port in the front so I tried unplugging it and seeing if my computer would sleep without it, it did after 1 minute and 30 seconds. I tested it 4 times after using powercfg -lastwake in Command Prompt which turned up with this. The only thing I didn't try was unplugging my internal HDD to see if that is keeping the system on.Īny other ideas besides throwing unicorn feces at it?

I tried every solution except 8 and 9 since 8 I can't change and 9 requires me to have an HP computer it seems.
