'Turn off the display' resets itself to 20 minutes instead of Never!
Hi all,
I've had Windows 7 Home Premium installed for less than 2 weeks now and this is already getting on my nerves! I do NOT want my monitor to turn off if I leave my PC idle, so in the Power Options I have chosen 'Never' for 'Turn off the display'. However it keeps resetting itself to 20 minutes and turning off the monitor after that amount of time anyway!
I first of all set this for the Balanced plan and I have also created my own power plan called 'Always on' and made sure the options are set to Never - but in both cases Windows is overriding my settings I have chosen - why?
I also don't want my PC to lock when I resume from hibernation, so in the advanced settings I have changed 'Require a password on wakeup' to 'No', but that keeps resetting itself to Yes as well!
Why won't Windows 7 remember the settings I've chosen?!!?
Please can someone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it.
P.S. It's a standalone PC so no group policy or similar is in effect.
Thanks in advance
Steven
