Hi, 

Which power plan are you currently using? What exactly do you want your system do regarding the power plan?

Win 10.


Sounds like you might be having trouble with Command Center's AlienFusion (Windows Service) that is used to sync Power-Profile settings.

For starters, you could try setting it the same in both places.

Hmm. What exact machine-model is this?

I suggest you explore Event Viewer or Reliability History and see what event is really running to make that change.

ok.

I found what is it... IRMT 

 

I've purchased a few new Dell computers since December 2017, all running Windows 10, all with slightly different processors/memory/drive configurations and one with 10 Home the others with 10 Pro, and EVERY UNIT had a similar problem. They, at various times, have the Power Options Power Plan changed without any user intervention to "Power Saver" where it puts the computer to sleep in very short order. This has been extremely frustrating, but I've found the problem and it is NOT a Microsoft issue... It's all related to INTEL READY MODE TECHNOLOGY

To solve the problem, I modified the Service "IRMTService" (Intel Ready Mode Technology) first by stopping the service and then setting it to "Startup type: Manual" so that the service is never started on bootup. On these newer Dell's BIOS, you can also go into the settings and disable Intel Ready Mode Technology at the BIOS level. 

This whole RMT is designed to allow your computer to share files while asleep... something I definitely do NOT need or want.

So, while many are blaming Microsoft for this problem... it is something out of their control, but they should definitely be aware of the culprit, as many newer computers have this so called "feature!"

 

Check for IRMT at the following levels:

1) bios: boot the computer and enter the bios before windows boots. Go to the "Advanced" screen. There should be several "Intel" features depending upon your hardware configuration. On newer computers you'll find "Intel(R) Ready Mode Technology": Enable/Disable. I've disabled it on all of our new computers at the bios level.

2) Next, check to see if the software is installed. Normally it would be located here:

"C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Ready Mode Technology\IRMTModernUI.exe"

You can uninstall it from Settings, Apps & Features.

3) Launch the Task Manager, go to "Startup" tab and check for items published by Intel, look under (click the arrow next to) Delayed launcher and see if the program is being launched at startup. If so, delete that entry in Startup, 
then go to the "Services" tab, sort by name and look for (Name) "IRMTService", (Description) "Intel(R) Ready Mode Technology". This service should be stopped. To stop it and permanently disable it from launching, click the gear at the bottom of the Services tab "Open Services". Once all Services are opened, scroll down to"Intel(R) Ready Mode Technology", double click on it. In the General tab, next to "Startup type:" click and select: "Manual" and if it's running, press the Stop button. Click OK to save changes. 
If you leave the software on your machine just make sure to a) stop it from starting every time the computer boots in the Task Manager "Startup" tab in Delayed launcher & 2) permanently force the service to "Startup type: Manual". That way you don't have to remove the software, but you stop it from launching on boot and force the service to manual. 

Also, BrianMcCarthy3, I've had a machine or two do the same as you have experienced... wouldn't wake up and had to do a hard reset.


Since disabling this service at the Bios and Windows Service level, although the software is still installed, I've never had a problem on these newer machines. I never let my computers sleep, as sometimes I've experienced problems with some software when the computer wakes up. This IRMT has been a real thorn in my side, but no longer!
