Your Welcome.
If your situation continues after you've defaulted once with your adjustments, go back to the power plan and default again, only this time, add the motion to Click on Change Advanced Power Settings, right above where it says Restore Default Settings for this plan.
After the advanced settings window opens, make sure you select the plan you were trying to fix is selected in the drop down box. Then click on the Restore plan defaults. Click on Apply, then OK, that action should place you back on the Edit Plan Settings window, (your starting point).
There you can click on Save Changes and that action should take you back to the Power Options window. Click either on the red X (in the upper right corner of the window) or open the file menu and close.
Test for a time suitable to you, observe, and make your adjustments, if the defaults hold.
In my situation I defaulted both the power plan and the advanced settings for it, again hoping it helps yours. I did not mention the "advanced" tip earlier because I did not know if it would be need or not. But, I mention it now.
I see you do not have Visitor or Private messages (VM or PM's) set on your profile page. It would behoove you to at least have Private Messages active. Vm's and Pm's can be set at: User CP | Edit Options.
If I do not hear from you through this thread in a few days I will post again to remind you. Say near the end of next week to see how you made out.
I have both open, and you may certainly approach me either way (VM or PM) to ask me "Was there something I was supposed to try?"
I also enjoy the classics, as I write this I'm streaming Wagner's, Siegfried Idyll; Performed by the Members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Sir Georg Solti
Ahh...But my heart belongs to Mozart.
I better know this, my wife has Celtic and Welsh ancestry. And, I believe it is. I ask rhetorically. You do know what it translates to don't you?
Fēowertyne niht's origins started before the 11th century during the age of Old English (500-1100 AD) around the accepted time of the Anglo-Saxon occupation of England in the fifth century with Old Welsh and Latin from the Romans (Tacitus) being added to the mix.17c. contraction of Middle English fourteniht, from Old English fēowertyne niht, literally "fourteen nights," preserving the ancient Germanic custom of reckoning by nights, mentioned by Tacitus in "Germania" xi. Related: Fortnightly.
Source: Online Etymology Dictionary
But, the local population's were notorious for keeping the languages they grew up with. Over time fēowertyne niht developed into Fortnight.
Because of the timeline I would say it is an absorption of Welsh (the language of origin ) with Roman (Latin), and Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) when they showed up. Not a translation, that finally melded into fortnight.
The only thing that disturbs me is that Tacitus Lifetime was: Born: 56 AD, Gaul, France, and Died: 117 AD.
Born in Gaul he certainly had time to observe the Germanic people, but to apply those observations to a culture 300 to 400 years hence is extraordinary.

Click on Show Detail to see THE GERMANIA OF TACITUS (Paragraph 64). If you want to check the source, click on it and scroll until you see 64 below the paragraph. I underlined the pertinent paragraph in this detail:
That reckoning stuck with people and became the term Fortnight, if you really want to expand your mind, search for Fortnight and Shakespeare.
An incantation? I might be able to dig one up for you.
