Lenovo T530 insists on sleep mode
We have a Lenovo T530 running Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. No matter what settings we apply to the Power Options control panel, the computer goes into sleep mode after exactly 15 minutes of inactivity. Can anyone tell us the path to the registry key that controls that behavior? Or, frankly, anything else that would help us solve this problem?
Overheating and low battery power will also cause it to go into sleep mode.

Apparently it's possible for something in the registry to produce behavior that points a troubleshooter in the wrong direction.
My comment: Should be considered in your decision.

Look in Windows Power Management and determine what plan is being used. Make a note of it.
Now open Lenovo Power Management and make sure it is using the same plan. Check the plan settings to make sure they are set the same way.
The two plans (Windows and Lenovo) are likely conflicting. If you do not wish to use Lenovo Power Management, then you can uninstall it (Control Panel, Programs and Features).
