Windows not going to sleep per power options
Lately - within the past few days my PC has stopped going to sleep based on the Power Options settings. I am not obviously running anything that prevents this. The only "foreground" application running has been my email client - Thunderbird - and it has never prevented sleep before.
I do have a few programs on the PC that prevent sleep, but they were not running. Is it possible they left a "don't sleep" tickler active? (I have no idea how the sleep override works. That was probably a dumb question.)
Is there any way to tell what is keeping Windows awake? Something recorded in the Event Log maybe? (If so, I haven't found it.)
