No Screen sleep

BenlyBoy · Dec 1, 2022

Hi all this is my first time on the site so thanks for the add. This is also the first time in a long time i have had a windows system, the last one was windows XP i believe. any how i decided to step back in when i built a new system with a duel boot windows 11 /Ubuntu install. The install went ok, and the system seem to be working great. At this point it is a windows 11 only system, i have not yet set up the duel boot. There is however one issue, there is no screen sleep. when i go into power plans this what i am greeted with, "your power plan information isn't available. rpc server is unavailable." Any help would be great thanks.

There is a key for "Power" but it's for Windows 8. You may want to check if a Win 11 key is floating around.

Thanks again rick, i did try this but get this error "Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0x6ba) has occurred: The RPC server is unavailable." so leads me to think that the second part of the first error i got (rpc server is unavailable.) is the one i need to fix. any thought?

Open Admin Powershell or Command Prompt:

powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

Then check if it succeeded:

powercfg -l

hi KevTec thanks for the suggestion but i have tried "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes" but go the error "Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0x6ba) has occurred: The RPC server is unavailable." i'm thinking i need somehow fix the server issue.

Look in services and see if Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is running.

Should be set to automatic.

Hi all still looking for an answer,I did look to see if the RPC server was running and it seems to be, it is also set to automatic. open to ideas.
Thanks
