I have an HTPC that previously had Windows 7 installed. I have it setup to sleep automatically after 3 hours in case we accidentally leave it on. I did a Win8 Pro upgrade on top of it, and it ported all of my apps and settings fine.
However, no matter what I do, it won't seem to go to sleep automatically. It works perfectly fine when I do it manually. I've gone into desktop mode and verified nothing is running (nothing open on the taskbar, at least). There is no video app or anything still running that would block sleep.
How can I properly debug what may be blocking it from sleeping? Could it be some glitch where it thinks it's setup to sleep in the power options but in reality it's not?
