Hi pagosche,

Are you familiar with 'powercfg -energy'?

I run the command and I got the following message:
C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -energy
Enabling tracing for 60 seconds...
Observing system behavior...
Analyzing trace data...
Analysis complete.

Energy efficiency problems were found.

4 Errors
8 Warnings
15 Informational

See C:\Windows\system32\energy-report.html for more details.

C:\Windows\system32>

I think the answer lies in the results, however I can't figure it out.

Ded9, I think the answer to the other power problems you tried to help me with lies in the results, but again I can't interpret the results to fix the problem:

Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

I think this problem is caused by some new windows  update...can u check update history in control panel ..check whether any new updates were installed.



Ded9

Hi ded9

I checked for updates, and it would appear that a number of updates have been installed. Is there any one particular update I should be concerned about?

Cheers

Hi, pagosche

I have opened another request asking for help with power being overdrawn by processes. Do you think you're solution might resolve that issue as well?

Cheers

Do you know the exact date when this problem started...do system restore prior to that date and check.
