more far-reaching fix if you have a 'Pro' version of windows 7 - editing local group policy:
start>Run>gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>
Set
Allow Applications to Prevent Automatic Sleep (On Battery)
and
Allow Applications to Prevent Automatic Sleep (Plugged In)
to disabled.
but this applies to ALL applications, not just chrome.

Read the help for powercfg. Use "powercfg -requests" to see what has requested to override automatic sleep, and then use "powercfg -requestsoverride" to turn that off.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it turns out that my kids minecraft game left open in their account was preventing the system from sleeping via the "HD audio" driver. Once I removed the override, my system was back to sleeping normally.
