Policy CSP - Power

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Power/UnattendedSleepTimeoutPluggedIn

This policy setting allows you to specify the period of inactivity before Windows transitions to sleep automatically when a user isn't present at the computer.

  • If you enable this policy setting, you must provide a value, in seconds, indicating how much idle time should elapse before Windows automatically transitions to sleep when left unattended. If you specify 0 seconds, Windows doesn't automatically transition to sleep.

  • If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, users control this setting.

If the user has configured a slide show to run on the lock screen when the machine is locked, this can prevent the sleep transition from occurring. The "Prevent enabling lock screen slide show" policy setting can be used to disable the slide show feature.
