I upgraded to Win 10 1909 directly from 1809 on my Dell desktop. Ever since my power config for the display stopped working. Instead, the power shutdown (for the monitor) kicks in correctly after the specified time limit but about 3 seconds later it cancels itself as if I touched the keyboard or mouse. Went through all the power configuration settings, no help. The display power shutdown was working on all prior feature updates from 1809 back. Help!
Sleep not working since 1903 update. Support said that it was an issues with update. Has it been repaired?
Has the glitch with 1903 been resolved? MS support analyzed my system and determined that it was an issue with 1903. I was told that this was a recurring glitch effecting many other users and was advised a rollback until the issue was resolved.

I thought I posted a response recently but I can't find it.
My computer is an Asus. Since 1903, it won't sleep on it's own. I can put it to sleep by using the hotkey short cut on my keyboard or by closing the lid. I also make sure my wireless mouse is turned off (bottom of the mouse).
With regards to waking up, my computer seemed to go into hibernation rather than sleep after 2 hours...on its own. I just push the start button and the computer starts where I left off.
With this in mind, everything worked until September when the computer started to wake up 10 minutes later. I took the computer to Staples and worked with the guy there. He said that under power options and advanced settings and sleep, change allow wake timers to "important wake timers only." This prevented the computer from waking up.
So now my computer goes to sleep either by shutting the lid or by using the hot keys. After 2-3 hours it seems to hibernate and I turn it back on using the power button.

2019-11-22T14:26:58+00:00 I hope you know these actions are not proven by anyone but me trying to get my system to shut down at night. Have you checked CP, power options, changed advanced power settings, display, set both to never? There are other places to change sleep as well but I think all the ones I have mentioned are all I needed to get it to stop going to sleep but allow me to hibernate. It was a lot of trial and error so I'm just sharing what I did. BTW, I initially set the powercfg to hibernate off, enter and then went back to turn on. IDK why but that seemed work.

2019-11-22T13:39:24+00:00 Under Power options from start/right click, I have battery and plugged screen/sleep to never.
In Control Panel, sleep options (or search), go to advanced, set sleep there to never, hybrid sleep same, even hibernate to never. Disable wake times.
These seem to be 2 separate places.
Next, at Control Panel, Hardware/Sound, Power Options, System settings-set 'do nothing' for batt/plugged for press power button, press sleep button but set tohibernate for what to do when closing lid.
Next click change settings that are currently not available. I have sleep and hibernate both checked. Finally, go to your C:/ prompt and type powercfg.exe /hibernate on, enter.
I know this all seems counter intuitive but it took me a long time to find the combo that worked. Plus, I am not an IT person but everything I tried from online just wouldn't work. I really hope this works for you. It's a pain to have to wait for machine to come out of hibernate every a.m. instead of sleep but at least my system is shut down for the night and it won't take so long to set it up from scratch in the a.m. doing it this way.
