Microsoft Releases Update For Windows 10 Technical Preview To Fix Power/Sleep Issue
Mine has that update (KB3010668), David. Worked again a few minutes ago with a Defender update.
Another YEAH!
Thank goodness the sleep thread won't go much further, unlike another power thread we know about.
Feel a bit lost, now, though, with nothing to worry/winge about!! I went through a large pile of paper with my notes on my attempts to isolate the 8.1 power issues and thankfully heaved them in the bin.
Hope everyone else with the sticky svchost issue is fixed now. Can't imagine how you couldn't be.
I just got another Defender definition update.
The svchost.exe request disappeared quickly !
Looks like the latest patch fixed the issue for me !!!

Yeah, such a delight to see my computer lazily blinking its power light and the machine in deep slumber dreaming in binary code about world conquest.
And I didn't have to do ANYTHING to make this happen. MS finally fixed the problem with my computer.
Yep, feels good, John.
I have two svchost calls in my powerconfig -requests. Checked but KB3010668 is not installed and is not being offered when I Check for Updates.
I wondered if they might have pulled this patch.
I uninstalled it, rebooted, and the update is offered to me again.
Are you getting Windows Defender definition updates, so you know Windows Update is working ?
Check your update history. it might have squeezed in there:
Defender Updates are there but still don't see the patch:
