Wallpaper Engine preventing PC from sleeping/standby.

[Vuthakral]

I'm one of the people who leave my computer on overnight, I went to bed thinking my computer will just go into it's blank standby black screen like it always does, only to come on this morning and see my desktop still lit up, I left nothing open, this has never happened until the night I bought Wallpaper Engine.

This should help in most cases, but not all: http://i.imgur.com/IadqxWt.png

It's set, I'll get back to this thread tomorrow morning (Or the next time I leave my computer idle more than 15 minutes) and let you know if it worked or not

I left to go out for breakfast for just over an hour, I come back and the computer is still not in standby, and desktop still playing in the background.

If it's any help or relevance I'm using this as my background:

Yeah I downloaded it, it's WebM, Chromium is blocking sleep specifically while a video plays. 99% of all videos on Workshop are mp4 though, I think those should not prevent sleep with the battery settings above.

Thanks!!! I had this issue since I reinstalled windows, this fixed it. Thanks for both of you!

There is actually a better fix now to make Chromium in Wallpaper Engine stop having any effect on this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/1354868867716398763/ (the command at the bottom)

I actually have recently had a problem getting my pc to restart to update and restart properly. It would get hung up in a loop where it would never actually restart or shut down. I would click update and shut down and then I would get up the next morning and it’s still trying to shut down. I would have to turn the main power switch off to the power supply or hold down the power button to stop it. I thought initially it was a bios update problem but I did that and still had the issue. So then I quit using wallpaper engine and I haven’t had the issue anymore. I’m not saying it is because of wallpaper engine but definitely is quite suspicious that it’s not doing it now. For days. Any thoughts??
