Energy Report Reveals potential sleeping problems?

[billyboyblue]

I ran an energy test, after studying the sleep statistics with the sleep report. I was expecting to literally find nothing useful, but I was incorrect. I've taken the liberty to post the information I received for someone with more MS knowledge than me to chime in!

This were red - Errors
System Availability Requests:System Required Request
The device or driver has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep.

CPU Utilizationrocessor utilization is high
The average processor utilization during the trace was high. The system will consume less power when the average processor utilization is very low. Review processor utilization for individual processes to determine which applications and services contribute the most to total processor utilization.
Average Utilization (%) 24.14

This is with the new intel drivers, and latest firmware. Additionally, I noticed that the device isn't waking up again properly, is this because i have connected sleep dissabled? Does that auto-hibernate versus sleep ?

Thanks!

I was of the understanding that this was a known issue.

I was of the understanding that this was a known issue.

I thought it wasn't asleep in sleep mode because of the WiFi , i've heard nothing about the USB not going allowing the device go into sleep mode. Has Microsoft made an announcement somewhere about the USB devices causing delays, I can't seem to see this. Same goes for audio. I installed the newest drivers from intel for the display adapters.

MS had me uninstall my battery drivers, and a few others today, and after my first extended sleep, I ran a report, and USB wasn't an issue any more, I'll do another report in the morning to see if it caused issues with going to sleep again after the new drivers MS gave me.

interesting, I have been seeing alot of disk activity when there should be none, associated with activity logging. Wondering if this USB issue is the real cause of this kind of thing. got to look deeper into this.
