Author Topic: Computer Troubleshooting: Power settings ignored.  (Read 301 times)

When I pressed the power button on my laptop, it still had my Orbweaver lit up. This was not normal, so I move the mouse and the screen turns on like it wasn't even sleeping. The setting says go to sleep and require password on wake up. It does not do this. What is happening? I want my computer to be secure again because my family is very nosy and I don't bother to hide anything on my pc.
Power settings window

Settings are normal


I even changed all of them to hibernate but it just ignores the settings.

Ok it looks like I fixed it. MoneySoft had me using a "cloud" account and the password expired (wtf?) but I ignored them telling me to change it. I guess their solution to the password problem is to loving make your PC unsecure. Thanks, Obama. Changed to local account, everything good.
