Are you running a laptop using external keyboard and mouse, and waking from the external device?

If so you might try this:

1. Click on the windows icon
2. Type regedit
3. Right-click on regedit icon, click Run as administrator
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0
5. Double click on Attributes
6. Enter number 2.
7. Go to Advanced power settings (click on Windows button, write power options, click on Power Options, in the selected plan click on the Change plan settings, click on the Change advanced power settings).
8. Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable
9. Click Sleep, then System unattended sleep timeout, then change these settings from 2 Minutes to 20 for example.
That's it!

Thank you, but I short-cut the description of the REGEDIT “1 and 2” thing. It, as I tried it, is exactly what you posted and it did not work.

I will try the “balanced” thing, however.

1. Click on the windows icon

For this I would right click on the windows icon (start menu) and select Command Prompt (Admin)
