When using W8 PV version and its predecessors, SLEEP worked immediately and flawlessly at the appointed time.
With W8 Pro auto-SLEEP kicks in only occasionally. Manually SLEEP performs every time.
Many suggestions have been tried...
BIOS has not been changed since PV version days - no wake timers are set.
In POWER MANAGEMENT the hard disk shutdown has been set to NEVER.
Wake timers have been disabled.
Hybrid-sleep has been disabled, and auto-SLEEP seems a bit more dependable, but still regularly fails.
SLEEP has been chosen for the action of the power button.
Network's Power Settings "allow to wake this device" has been toggled off.
At the command prompt, typing "powercfg /h" or "powercfg /hibernate" returns "invalid command" even though that appears to be a valid command.
