Solved Driver keeping Windows 8.1 from sleeping

[Jesse Williams]

Hello, it would be appreciated if I could get some help here.

I did a powercfg test, and this was what it said.

"System: [Driver] \FileSystem\Srvnet. An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine."

It's an Acer desktop with Windows 8.1.

Okay. Thanks, Maxie.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. We will see if that fixes it.

 

[maxie]

Have you set up a Home Group ? ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

No. I went to that earlier, and it said "This computer cannot connect to a Homegroup."

 

[Jesse Williams]

It's sleeping now, Maxie.

 

[maxie]

Good

 

[Jesse Williams]

Maxie, I think I fixed it now. I did another powercfg test, and I overrode what was causing it to fail to sleep.

Nice work Jesse

 

[Jesse Williams]

Why does it do this?

 

[maxie]

I think it has either to do with the Apps or else one of the Updates ... Happened to me the other day ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Its more common on Windows 8 computers. I rarely have this issue out of my Windows 7 computers.

 

[maxie]

Windows 7 does not have all them Apps ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay
