Windows keep changing sleep timer option automatically.

[Sohaib]

So i go to my power options and change put the computer to sleep option to never. I save changes and after about a day or two when i leave my computer idle and return after a while and see that my computer is in sleep mode, i go to power options to check it and find out the sleep option timer is back to 30 minutes.

This is becoming a nuisance and an headache, i don't want my system to sleep and the wake as its usually bad on hdd's reliability and i have 6 mechanical hdd's in my system. I wonder what makes windows change the power option and how i can keep it from doing so?

Is some other application like perhaps Asus AI Suite 3 is culprit here? I Use asus AI suite to adjust my case and cpu fans so i really don't want to get rid of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this, turn on your pc in safe mode.
Then change yor sleep time.
Wait in the safe mode for atleast 2 minutes
Then restart your pc into normal mode.
Hope it will help you.

That doesn't help, i don't have any problem to turn of sleep timer, the problem is it keeps reverting back on after a day or two by itself.
Just checked it and it was again back on 30 Minutes.

I'm having the same problem on a new install. Did you find a solution?

Update: Solved my problem. It was Bitdefender when using Game Profile. Unchecked the "Adjust power plan settings for games" option and voila!
