You are not green enough. the idea is to save the planet by reducing power consumption. I thibnk its juts an excuse to be lazy. When you aren't using it turn it off. it is also necessary because you can die of old age waiting for windows to boot. THAT is something snoppysoft should look into

It sounds like it's doing exactly what he's telling it to do. If it's set to never sleep, it should never sleep.

That's what I thought too. But why does that make it 'something for MS to look at'?

Never means never, so using 'never sleep' and 'never turn off screen' options mean that it will never sleep and never turn off the screen.

Is that not what it is doing?

Use a uefi supported distribution.

W7 sucked, there is no good reason to go back to it.

I haven't used Windows extensively for many years, but I've used Win7, 8.1 and 10 for a few months each, and I found Win7 to be very stable, with all settings and otherwise where I expected it to be. I still use Win7 on my virtual machine whenever I need to run Windows software. What am I missing out on?

I installed Linux Mint on my laptop after my hard drive died in the arse. Made a bootable USB stick and had to change the BIOS setting to ensure it picked up the stick as first bootable drive. Google it, there is info out there.

This laptop came with Windows 8.1 originally (before I upgraded to 10), but no backup so without having the exact Asus OEM version of 8.1 it was impossible to get Windows back again short of buying it. Crazy. Doing fine with Linux though, Mint is just like Windows anyway. I already had Mint on my emergency backup Netbook because the Win 7 activation key on the label had rubbed off.

Have never had problems with my windows 7, set to never update my original windows copy software.

Reformat the whole drive after u back up all ur info and make sure u have copies somewhere, ( all my install files are on an external hard drive)of all ur software u want/need
Than set ur partitions an reinstall everything...
