Now for the rest of this you'll need to open up the Windows 'command prompt'.

Once in Sleep Settings change the following settings:Įxample: find the 'Allow applications to prevent automatic sleep (plugged in)'
In the 'Group Policy Editor' do the following: Open up 'Group Policy Editor' by clicking the 'Start' menu and typing 'edit group policy', and open up the Group Policy Editor. IMPORTANT: After finishing this procedure and running all the commands and adding all request overrides it is important to restart the computer. That's because Windows services/processes and applications have to finish their work on my older laptop. NOTICE: I have an older HP laptop, after applying these steps I did set the computer to go to sleep after 1 minute then the screen turned off after 1 minute, BUT for the computer to go into sleep mode actually took around 3 to 4 minutes to actually enter sleep mode. I have had that problem but solved it entirely, here are the steps: I have used powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE to remove all entries that come up in powercfg -requests and ensured in Device Manager that all USB ports are able to turn off devices to allow the computer to sleep. How can I prevent my USB Audio Device (in this case Hyper X Cloud II Headset) from preventing my computer to enter sleep?

I had hoped that Windows 10 would resolve these issues, but unfortunately this is not the case. I have been having issues with my computer not entering sleep and also waking from sleep since Window 8.1.
