Hey Tom,

Brilliant! Glad to hear that sorted it out. I know how frustrating it is when the machine refuses to go to sleep so I’m delighted I was able to help out :)

Cheers!

Thanks Alex. Fantastic. It finally has return to going to sleep on it’s own. It was driving me crazy for weeks. I had tried uninstalling the last couple of driver updates etc but nothing I tried had worked

Hi Tom,

I did some searching around and I think I’ve found a possible solution (http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?showtopic=46205)

If you go to your cmd console and type the following:

powercfg -requestsoverride driver \FileSystem\srvnet system

That should do it apparently.. hope this helps.

Mine says:

(Driver) filesystem\srvnet
but I can’t find it anywhere in my computer

Just wanted to say, this article helped me out. Running the powercfg /energy report did the trick – I realized that my printer was preventing my computer from going to sleep. Thanks!

Problem solved, it was the network connection. I switched from wireless to wired and that was the problem. Just unplugging the cable network ends all activity and the computer goes to sleep without any problem.

Alex:
Bad news, I tried your advise yesterday, it worked fine the first time, after that, I have the same issue, my computer just can’t go into the sleep mode. Checked the Media share system and its disabled, any idea of what can be happening?
