I wish Microsoft would get all the basic stuff working before embarking on huge new “improvements”. I see it as taking one step forward and two steps back. My biggest source of frustration with Windows 10 is that it misbehaves in simplistic ways that its predecessors did not. In this particular case one would have to choose between an ill-behaved Windows going tuck-tuck when it is supposed to, or having a more controllable sound system. All I know is that eliminating it works for me. I have no idea whatsoever why a sound driver would have anything to do with Windows sleeping. This will guarantee that Windows will replace the driver with one of its own. If you have chosen to uninstall a driver, it might be a good idea to re-boot your computer. Uninstalling a Device is not the same as getting rid of the software that drives it. Note: If you really want to get rid of everything related to the driver, then check that little box to delete the driver software. Respond to the Frantic Warning Message in a positive way (read: click OK).Click the button labeled either Disable, or Uninstall (depending on what you want to do, of course).In the Properties Sheet that opens, choose the Driver Tab.In Device Manager, Double-click on the driver you want to Disable or Uninstall.Just as identical twins have differing opinions, tastes and desires, so too, it would seem, do computers.



So-called identical computers are not truly identical. What works for me, on my computer, may or may not work for you on your computer. The title of this article contains the word “Solved”. Well, it happened again about a week ago and this time I was determined to fix it, for sure, forever, this time around. The biggest problem is that once I got it “fixed”, it would work long enough that when the situation happened again, I had long forgotten how I “fixed” it and would have to return to the mundane task of drilling through forums and search engines. Ever since I first installed Windows 10 on my computer, there has been one niggling, recurring problem– it won’t go to sleep! By searching various forums on the internet and spending countless hours with search engines, I have over time “fixed” this annoyance several times, but it keeps coming back to pester me some more like an itch you can’t quite reach.
