Despite setting up a sleep schedule using the recommended setting the unit does not go to sleep. I have to manually put it to sleep. Suggestions please. I am a novice.

It worked for years. After upgrading to W10 it was necessary to recovery original setup. In fact, due to continuous issues I've had to recover 4 times. On one recovery sleep per schedule worked but not with this recovery. The memory is OEM. No Addison additional memory added nor reduced.

Suggestions please.

Do I understand correctly?

1 out of 4 recoveries worked fine?
What did you do different?

I did nothing differently. One recovery errored out while installing. One had a blue screen error while I was in explorer. The third was riddled with OS problems. The current one is running good with the exception of a few issues. The very first W7 was flawless then I upgraded to W10. Such a bad decision. My fault really.

Is it possible that you are facing a memory issue?

Can you run MemTest?

Are you referring to amount of RAM that is free? Of 10GB there is 9.78 useable.
