Will Windows 10 Update In Sleep Mode
PCs in the office do not always download and install Windows updates when set to the default sleep timeout.
Windows 10 Sleep Mode Restarts Computer
I was using the default Power settings for the PCs in the office. The PCs are left on 24/7. The default setting puts a PC to sleep after it is idle for 30 minutes. This is great for reducing power consumption in the office. But it seems to have the side effect that Windows Updates do not download and install automatically. With the Sleep timer at 30 minutes updates routinely seem not to happen. I often have to manually start the Update process, wait for the download, and restart the PC. I found that with the sleep timer set to 120 minutes the PCs would be updated and often the machine would restart without manual intervention. My take on this is that 30 minutes is sometimes insufficient for an Update to finish downloading. When the download is interrupted by Windows going to sleep it does not seem to resume but restarts at the beginning of the download. 120 minutes is enough time for even the largest update to download. Therefore, with that setting Update downloading is completed and the Patch is ready for the Restart.
That is my current theory on the issue of updates that never download. It begs the question as to why the downloads are not completed during the workday. So maybe this theory is wrong. But why did changing the sleep time seem to fix that?
After upgrading to windows 10, I noticed that sleep mode was missing on my power options.This means that I won’t be able to put my laptop into sleep mode. Normally, (before upgrading to windows 10), when I close the lid of my laptop, it will go into sleep mode.
Windows Update During Sleep
Is my theory correct that PCs which go to sleep during an Update download never complete the download? Shouldn't the Update download in progress prevent sleep? Does a sleeping PC 'wake up' to do a restart at the scheduled off hours time?
