*** SOLVED SEE 2 POSTS BELOW **
I've got a fully updated Win 10 install that just does not want to do what is in the power plan - specifically, monitor does not shut down and computer is not put to sleep in the designated time periods.
Based on some searches, I made sure that my wireless adapter coulld be put to sleep in the Power Management tab in the Device Manager adapter. I also went through the rest of the device manager to see if there were any other peripherals that had that box unchecked.
Came across a suggestion to run a admin command prompt that checked integrity of update files - all good.
The monitor I am using is updated with the most recent drivers (first using the CD it came with to update the driver and also checking in Windows to see if it could find a more recent one).
Of course I also went through the power options toggling the times just so I can save it to make sure the options the stuck.
Oddlly, the user account will get kicked and the screen goes to the login screen after some time (long after the 10 min specified to turn off the monitor and the 20 or so min to put to sleep). Even on the login screen, it wont put the monitor to sleep much less put the computer to sleep.
Any help greatly appreciated (note this is a low end build for my mom not the computer to see in my sig).
