SP3; Win 8.1 i5 CPU, keyboard attachment, and docking station. IN Power Saver mode.
Plugged in all the time. (well, 95% of the time)
Initially, when I put the keyboard 'up', the SP3 appeared to sleep. Perhaps it did not.
I needed to input my password to waken or have access to the SP3.
So, I was playing around with the Power Options (I'm learning about this device still a few months into it) and went to Chose what closing the lid does.
I clicked on Chose what closing the lid does options and noticed that all the drop down options were then blank.
I clicked on the drop-down button (mistake?) and then there were three options for the plugged in mode:
Do Nothing, Hibernate and Shut Down.
I chose Hibernate since Sleep was not then an option. Hibernate took / takes longer to start up again.
Was the SP3 sleeping previously, prior to Fi-didleing with Power Options, when I closed the lid, so to say, or put 'up' the keyboard?
I then noticed after disconnecting the keyboard and rebooting (had read somewhere this reverts SP3 with keyboard to default keyboard mode) and poof:
Sleep became an option in Power Options and was defaulted to all four situations:
for Battery and for Plugged In,
1) When I press the Power Button (SLEEP)
2) When I close the lid (SLEEP)
SLEEP was showing as the selected option.
I touched nothing, and SLEEP seems to be occurring again, as I prefer it.
A neat thing I seemed to have learned.
Sleep is a default function.
