StandBy / Hibernation off - Computer still powers off.

Hi all,

I am using Win7.
I occasionally use
powercfg -h off
to disable Standby / Hibernation. Most often if I am running some long-time activities in the background where I am away from the screen.
I noticed, that the computer still powers down (not shutdown). This is confirmed with Event 42, Category 64, Keyword 4 (Information)

If I do
powercfg -a
I get (roughly translated)

Mode S1 not available
Mode S2 not available
Standby has not been activated
Hybrid Standby-mode.

Tha last line of this output catches my eye and I do suppose that instead of doing a normal StandBy, the system goes into hybrid standby.
This, however, is astonishing, since it is stated that
powercfg -h off
disables normal standby just as well as it does disable hybrid standby.

Does anyone have a clue as to why my system still powers down?

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
P.

Hi Pelle

Please post your logs for us to check .... We cant deduce from the above !!

Hi, t
hanks for your time.
Sounds good - I'll try and let you know.

Also - is there a way to do that by command-line?

Thanks!!!

I think if you set minutes to 0 (zero) this'll do it for you:

powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac minutes

Use dc in place of the ac as appropriate.
