When active, display will not go to standby nor will PC go to sleep. I can close down Creative Cloud Services and display and sleep work correctly. Even though timer is set to 5 minutes for display and 20 minutes for sleep, neither will happen as long as creative cloud is active.
This hassle has not always been there, but not sure what has changed.
Ideas?
that makes sense. post your solution if you find one.
I haven't used my main pc in a while but I noticed tonight it's doing the same thing. So I've set a taskscheduler task to automate the powercfg override. Here are my settings if anyone else wants to do it. I've manually ran the task a few times to confirm that it is working. (FYI - To remove a requestsoverride in cmd, just type the same command string without the variables "Display System" at the end.
powercfg /requestsoverride process "creative cloud.exe"
To view active overrides list
powercfg /requestsoverride
To create the auto override, open task scheduler. Click "Create Task" on the right side.
In general, make sure to check "run with highest privleges"
In triggers, I set mine to run once daily at 10:00am
In Actions, choose "Start a program" type"C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe" in the first box. In add arguments box type "requestsoverride process "creative cloud.exe" display system" note there is no / at the beginning. Leave "Start In" blank.
In the conditions tab I left everything as default
In the settings tab, I checked "Run task as soon as possible after scheduled start is missed"
That's it!
You can manually start the task by right clicking on the task in your task scheduler library and choose run. Then you can double check if it worked by going back to the command prompt and typing
powercfg /requestsoverride to show the list of active overrides.
Good luck!
