FIXED METABOX DOESN'T GO TO STANDBY OR SLEEP

After a few months of struggling with this issue, I managed to fix the problem. The issue was the Metabox wouldn’t go to standby or sleep mode after x minutes that was set on the Power Settings in Windows 10. I basically changed all the settings in the Power and Sleep Additional Power Settings and nothing would fix it.

The fix was to use a command line I never knew existed (I’ve been using windows since Windows 3.11).

The command was:

powercfg -requests

You have to use that in an Administrator command prompt. When I entered that command it returned the following:

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "Realtek High Definition Audio" SYSTEM

C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] Realtek High Definition Audio (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_15589501&REV_1000\4&27ae6d24&0&0001)
An audio stream is currently in use.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.

ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:
None.

So the Realtek High Definition Audio showed that it was in use and needed to be removed. To do this:

powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "Realtek High Definition Audio" SYSTEM

Business Legions - Metabox powercfg requests disable audio

Check again and it’s now removed. Yuppie!!!
