Situations That May Cause Windows Computers to Not Sleep
Under certain conditions, Windows-based computers may not drop into sleep mode despite being properly configured to do so. For example, the following conditions may prevent computers from entering sleep mode:
- The PC has a file open over the network – e.g., on a network server.
- The computer uses a graphics-intensive screen saver. (ENERGY STAR recommends disabling them.)
- A Microsoft PowerPoint file is in “presentation mode.”
- Processor activity is above a certain threshold, indicating that the computer is not idle.
It is also possible for a network administrator to allow certain applications to 'veto' sleep mode. This setting cannot be configured via the computer’s Control Panel, but network administrators can use Group Policy to do so.
