- Patched WMC version for Windows 10 is broken.
This becouse CompPkgSup.dll is broken.

After these updates my laptop goes to sleep after about 1 minute of inactivity, no matter what the power saving settings say. This occurs if the laptop has previously been awakened from the standby state during that particular session. So, after a fresh reboot, it won't exhibit that behavior, but if it has been allowed to fall asleep once or more according to the normal settings, it's hopeless to use it again without rebooting.
Apparently there are some fixes to be found, like registry editing, but I haven't yet tried them. Quite disgusting, nonetheless, that MS would ruin people's computers like that. Funnily enough this bug has existed for as long as Win10 has existed, although only these most recent "patches" activated it for me.
