Power Options Settings keep resetting back to default and system goes to sleep.

Hi I have Windows Server 2012 Standard R2 installed on one of my servers, in which there is an issue with the power settings. In power options it keeps selecting the Balanced plan by default. Even if I manually change the power plan it still keeps resetting
back to the default Balanced plan which in turn puts the System to sleep after 4 hours. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue. I have even tried using powercfg -SETACTIVE from command prompt by giving the appropriate Power Scheme
GUID. But it didn't work either. Anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

Again, this is something outside the bounds of Windows Server.  Windows Server does not do that.  I looked at default installations of both physical and virtual servers and there is nothing there to cause a sleep or power off.
In fact, the only real power setting I see in the Balanced power plan is to turn off the display after x amount of time.
Do you have power savings enabled on your NIC card?  Is there some setting in VMware?

  • THX adjustment Questions (Settings keep resetting to the default).

    Why is it when ever I adjust my THX sound settings for individual speaker dB's, speaker angulation and speaker distance they never stay saved. I close down my creative windows and THX window and immediatly click on the THX icon to open the window again and the only setting that stays how I set it is the speaker angulation while the dB's and speaker distance are all reset back to the factory preset. I'm trying to adjust my speakers and they are responsi've to my adjustment but the settings never save. Why is this happening? Anyone...

    I assume you are using Audigy 2 something, it has a terrible tendency to forget setting (not just THX) to date there is no sure fire fix. It just appears to be poor software which seems to conflict with most everything. In the soundblster forum this is a common problem.

  • The tilt on my ipad 2 has stopped working, already reset back to default and loaded 6.1, still not working

    Has anyone any ideas other than the Apple shop to fix the tilt issue, reset back to factory default, still not working, changed the locking position, and more or less given up. Seen lost of notices around Temple Run and how this seems to happen after installing that particular app.

    You have indicated you did a restore with no affect. You don't mention specifically if it is not working with multiple applications or not. I have had one or two apps that quit recognizing the tilt. If it is just one or two apps, delete and re-download/install those apps. If it is with all apps, then you are indeed looking at a trip to Apple to get it fixed. Or you can contact them through one of the options here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • My Macbooks Wallpaper keep reseting back to default Mavericks wallpaper every so often, why is that?

    Do I have a Virus?
    Specs: Macbook 2009 mid 2.13ghz

    There's no known malware capable of infecting a Mac OS X 10.9.1 system. So it's not malware.
    As to what it is, I don't know. Your Mac is probably having trouble locating your background images, so it reverts. This could be because you've got a hard drive problem or other glitch in your system, or it could be related to where you have stored those background images, or it could be the result of some third-party software that is interfering somehow. Without more information, it's impossible to say.

    What files did you transfer to the new computer?
    It sounds that there is a problem with the file that stores the preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • Keyboard and Mouse Settings Keep "resetting"

    Ok so I set up my keyboard's F5 to be the Desktop View ( F11 the old way ) and squeezing my mighty mouse, I set to Expose... but every time I do that, it resets itself after like a day or so..
    Anyone experience this? I have to go back in and check off the F5 option again, and I have to change my mouse from Button 4, to Expose.
    HELP!

    I am having the same problem. I have my system preferences setup to synch with my .mac account. The mouse settings keep resetting on both computers I have synched.
    The problem seems to have ramped up since the update to 10.5.3. It is now happening every synch.

  • Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers

    Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers
    We have 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 print servers, all of which has the same printer queues installed on them that are utilized by a 3rd party printing program that does a round-robin load balancing scheme.  
    All printers are a combination of HP and Xerox all running some variation of the HP UPD and the Xerox UPD.  Some use the PCL 5 and some use the PCL 6 version determined by age of printer and need.  
    There are typically two printer queues for each physical printer.  
    Example:
    LOCATION_ROOM
    LOCATION_ROOM_TRAY2
    The regular queue is ok being left with default setting,
    The _TRAY2 queues are set to print to "labels" or "pre-printed" paper type or a specific tray.
    From time to time, these _TRAY2 queues will revert back to a factory default state and lose the setting to print to a specific paper type or tray.  Sometimes it happens to the _TRAY2 queue on all 4 servers, sometimes just 1 server, etc.  No rhyme
    or reason.
    Disabled Bi-directional options on both the HP and Xerox UPDs per another article on the internet that said bi-directional could cause the printer to send back settings to the driver and cause this issue.  Even with this option off, we continue to see
    printer _TRAY2 queue settings revert back to factory default and lose their specific paper and tray settings.  We have ruled out the possibility that users or other technicians are the ones making these changes so we suspect it is some interaction between
    the servers, printer drivers and printers themselves causing the issue.  
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd start by using one of the print drivers included in Windows for a few of the printers and confirm it's the universal driver that is causing the issue.
    HP installs some other processes and services on the machine which communicate with the HP devices. 
    PML and something else.  You might want to shut those down and see if these processes are the ones modifying the settings.
    Run process monitor to truly identify which processes is causing the modifications.

  • IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

    I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
    I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
    Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
    It is getting rather infuriating

  • Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

    Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
    After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
    It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
    Anyone able to help?

    This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
    Delete these three files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
    Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
    Restart the computer.

  • K430 ignores windows power options settings

    I have a brand new Ideacentre K430.  One of my main annoyances with it is that, regardless of how I set Windows power option settings, it logs me out after just one minute idle time, and then requires a password to log me in again.
    This is despite my having set the display to shut off after 45 minutes, to never go to sleep, and not to require a password on wakeup.
    This is really annoying, as my work often involves switching back and forth between the computer and books/papers, so I need to be able to leave it a minute without retyping my password.  Can somebody help?!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, I solved the problem.  Right-click on the desktop, click personalize, then click on screen saver.  Even if you have it set for no screen saver, it still uses the setting there for a period of inactivity to log you off.  This gives you options for delaying that forced log-off, or not requiring a password afterward.

  • Help Problem NOT Solved Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot

    Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot At first I thought it was happening because I disconnected my Google account, but now I've disable that account and switched to Firefox.  I wasn't sure how my browser setting could have anything to do with my system preferences and now I think it's some glitch or missed setting that is causing the problem.  Oh & I locked my preference panel and that did not help.
    In addition to what I say above, not only are all my system preferences being reset to default, but also the preferences for word and Excel.  I'm sure it's affecting other programs, but Word & Excel are the main ones that I have a lot of custom setting for.  Especially annoying is the fact that my ribbon commands are reset.  All this started happening when I signed up for a Google Drive account.  The only system updates have been the usual security updates.  I deleted my Google account but haven't uninstalled it.  I'll try this, but I can't figure out how that would result in all OS preferences being reset.
