Start11 keeping my PC awake

powercfg -requests shows SYSTEM keeping every network connection alive where the icons I'm using for the start menu are stored.  Start11 never used to do this.  Is it me or is it you?

Personally I wouldn't recommend storing the icons used on a network drive as you will introduce significant delays on loading icons initially and problems if Start11 loads up before the network drive is up and running.

That said we should not be keeping any handles open to them and I cannot explain why SYSTEM would be leaving this open.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Where were those Start panel icons stored? On network drive? Have you tried moving them to local drive?

Thank you.
