Hello. My computer has had an issue since I bought it, and I thought it would itself with updates, but it hasn't. Also, it looks like it's a common problem with 50 different solutions (none of which work for me).
Basically, my computer will NEVER GO TO SLEEP AUTOMATICALLY. It goes to sleep fine if I tell it to.
Before you ask, I switched my power settings back to the HP Recommended.
When I run powercfg -requests I get this:
[DRIVER] Realtek High Definition Audio (lots of text I'm not copying) An audio strea, is currently in use.
When I run powercfg /energy I get this:
I've tried uninstalling the Realtek driver and rebooting - didn't work.
I've tried troubleshooting - didn't work.
I've tried the requestsoverrride - didn't work.
I've made sure no programs were open - didn't work.
Can someone please help with this. It's insanely frustrating that a BRAND SPANKING NEW computer has this issue. It's such a waste of power to have this thing running constantly - not to mention that obnoxious red light that can't be adjusted.
Thanks.
