Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my computer isn't sleeping even though the power plan suggests it should after a certain time. It's on the highest power setting, but it still doesn't shut down. Could someone explain what might be causing this? Thanks! Power plan ↓↓↓

Identify the commands by running CMD with admin rights and checking for active processes. Look for background tasks that might be keeping the system running. Consider external factors like connected peripherals or Bluetooth devices affecting power usage.

It seems like a basic USB audio device was detected. Could be my headphones? Is the Legacy Kernel Caller preventing it from sleeping?

It might be plugged in using USB or have a button on the cord that keeps the PC active. The legacy kernel call could be linked to a Windows update. You can verify updates, wait for them to complete, and then try the powercfg -requests command once more. The same applies if you unplug the headphones.

It was my WhatsApp conversation. I saw a Reddit thread about the same problem.
