Power Saving Windows 11 Pro

OspreyO · 28 Jan 2024 at 18:31

Reinstalled W11Pro on a spare machine I use fr Handbrake. Keeping going into a power saving mode. Runs for a while then, sleeps, hibernate.

It wouldn't let me change the default power plans so I created my own. Turn off Display. Never, Put commuter to Sleep / never. Still doing it.

Any ideas

I'm on my phone so can't help much but there is a registry setting CsEnabled which gives extra options which might help.

EDIT: Apparently on some newer OS it is PlatformAoAcOverride instead.

I'll try that.

I've checked with power shell and my plan is active.

Do you have other software installed which can shut down your PC? E.g. motherboard software.

Nothing its a blank install.

I changed the order of ram sticks because I was getting an error. Then refreshed windows. Maybe it reset something.

Not sure if this fixed it or not. But it's working now.

Why Microsoft can't stop breaking things I have no idea.
