If I set my power options to:
Turn off Hard Disk
(after x amount of minutes)
Turn off Moniter
(also after so many minutes)
What is the difference between that and setting the pc to sleep mode?
I ask because a number of times, coming out of sleep ... it doesn't!
The HD will click and then nothing!
Takes a hard shutdown and reboot to get running again!
Believe me, I've done every work-a-round, (for the last six months) and tried every suggestion in trying to fix this headache and nothing has worked!
Searching, this appears to be a problem with Windows 10 that a lot of folks have been having.
Some have solved the problem while others have not.
Seems that no one solution is a fix for everyone.
I've disabled hybrid and hibernate using only sleep.
Re-enabled hibernate with sleep disabled ... but the problem still exists!
And yes, I've run every chk disk and troubleshooter that I can find and ... nothing!
I figure that allowing the disk to go into idle and having the monitor shut down is the only step that I have left?
My concern is .. I don't want to shut down the pc every time I have something else that I need to do but ... I also don't want to risk something like a cooling fan going bad and my hard disk burning up when I'm not around!
Thanks in advance everyone!!
