Hi !
My Minix for many months was going into sleep mode and blue power light was changing to green and machine was sleeping ok and radiator was cold same as on completely off pc.
I was changing when it suppose to go for sleep mode ( default was 25 minutes with new pc, but I was changing anywhere from 25 minutes to 5 Hrs and back to 2 hrs and again to different time and everything worked fine)
Now for some time Minix Z 100 0db doesn't want to go to sleep mode no matter what settings I am choosing in Windows 11 power settings.
I updated this machine to Windows 11 pro 24 H2 build 26100.3025
Please help me to get my green magic light for sleep mode.
Best Regards !

Hi !
Thank you for your respond.
I don't remember if this started before or after update.
Now I started to disconect one by one usb devices connected to Minix and noticed that after unplugging network cable machine is going to sleep no problem.
Maybe something on the network is waking up this mini PC.
While is using wi fi connection than it goes to sleep and light is changing to green and machine is sleeping as it did before.
At my place lots is going on on the home network.
It is me connecting devices and disconnecting from the network.
Because I am Melomaniac and always experimenting with audio and video devices.
I have number of blue ray players and lately I am trying to disconect them from power to conserve energy.
I have network switches connected and powerline network adapters connected also so it is had sometimes to pint point the problem.
Usually I would restart my modem/router to solve connection problems from time to time.
I will be still trying to find out why this sleep problem occurs.
Before always I was using cable to connect to network and everything worked fine.
Lately I added to my blue ray herd new 4 K Sony which using network connection to play audio or video files from server on pc, but now is off, disconnected.
Thank you for any future advice and ideas.
Best Regards !
