Hi Rick, I'm running Windows 10, and I also have two combo boxes, the first being how many minutes before the display is turned off, set to ten minutes by default, and can be left alone. The second combo box is the number of minutes before the computer goes to sleep and that was set to thirty minutes as the default and should be changed to Never. By the way, I found the setting by typing power in the search box on the Start menu, and arrowing down to Power Options.
Good luck, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: October 1, 2015 8:20 AM To: 'Rick Thomas' <ofbgm...@mi.rr.com>; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: Final Message? RE: Sleep Mode Situation OK Rod: I set both the combo box settings to never so never hibernate and never sleep I guess. Not what I really want in case I want the machine to power save if I end up away from it for a lengthly period but if it allows me to not lose speech I guess worth the trade-off. If it does not work I will post up a follow up message but for now, per your idea, I have turned sleep and hibernate off I think. That is unless, like one article said, these settings might not apply if the hybrid sleep setting is turned on but I cant find that setting anyplace on my machine so far.
