Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32> powercfg /requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.

I've fixed the above error for SYSTEM by overriding it with:

powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER \FileSystem\srvnet system

I will have to see if it works after making this change. My output after the above change is:

C:\Windows\system32> powercfg /requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
None.

AWAYMODE:

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:

  • Open an elevated Command Prompt
  • Run the following command: powercfg /requests
  • Paste the output here

The screensaver does not currently work for me with the "Require password after screensaver" checked. I have tried a timeout of 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes and it simply goes to a blank state on all four of my monitors for 5 minutes and 15 minutes but 1 minute seems to work. I am currently using the built-in Photos Screensaver from DisplayFusion, but have tried this setting with a custom screensaver in the past that also had the same problem. This has been an issue since 7.1 (I was using Windows 7). I am currently using 7.2 with Windows 10.

Debug logs attached. ]]>
