Windows 11, PC Sleeps when it shouldn't

My W11 (Home edition) desktop PC has the following settings

'Power mode' set to 'Best performance' and

'When plugged in, put my device to sleep after' set to 'Never'.

Despite this, the PC goes to sleep after a few minutes of being idle, which in turn kills RDP sessions which I do not want to happen.

There must be other settings somewhere which are overriding the 'Never' setting. Please help me understand what they are and how to change them.

Thank you and best regards

Why do I have high CPU usage?

Something is not working correctly. There is a high cpu usage and I am unable to figure out why. There seems to be an invisible ammount of cpu I cannot see? There is only 1 user on the machine and the cpu usage is more than the users cpu usage how does that make sense and how can I fix and optimize the cpu usage?

Windows asks me twice to give permission to use Edge

I use Windows 11 and Edge is my default browser. I love Microsoft Edge but can't understand why every time I start my computer, Windows asks me twice to give permission for it to use Edge, and then later when I go to use Edge it asks me again.
Given that Microsoft has created both the software that runs my computer and also Microsoft Edge, I speculate it should be possible to avoid such an unecessary procedure. Will you please tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Which background processes can i stop?

I have the idea that background processes lower the framerates of my flight simulator, leading to stutters. When I examine the resource monitor, I see that about 200 background processes are running, even when totally none program is active. I cannot image why all those processes are neccessary. All those processes have names that doesn't give my any insight in what all those processes are doing. How can I find out which processes I can stop and which are mandatory?

Use of older usb dongles/security keys on Windows 7 and beyond

Over the years many companies that produce amazing Engilneering Softwares that used USB or even parallel port security keys was done to provide security for the writer of this software agains those who would might pirate their software... I bought into this activity with many USB Dongles... Then several of these companies went out of business or where sold to larger companies... This caused a serious isues (Expensives) to the end customers like myself... To upgrade a few of them can cost several Hundred of Thousand of Dollars if these company maintained some form of these softwares... So I elected to maintained a special computer running XP (A Xeon Machine to gain higher speeds...) so I would not loose use of many of these wonderful softwares like SystemView just to name one... Or Eagleware and Spice softwares... I still have access to my OLD XP Machine...

Question: Use of older security keys on later operating systems like Window's 7 (Better because of Xp can run as a simution embedded) or Window's 10 can basically not be done because Microsoft chose to ignore these users of these security keys... So,,, is there any way to used older softwares such as the types I have suggested in such a way, that the locking security keys could still be used on later versions of Microsoft platforms using older software that used Software Keys... I use mostly USB types and jump out of the Parallel types do to that change...

Years ago I wrote to Microsoft about this action they did... But they ignore me....

Today I thought I might just ask to see if what I think is truc may have a solution I was not made aware of...

Thanks...

PS I like your software Auslogic BootSpeed 13... Plus a few of the others too... Great efforts in your software programming is appreciated...

Empty Folder Cleaner and Windows

Does the Empty Folders Cleaner differentiate which folders should and should not be deleted in the Windows OC? The tool identifies hundreds in my C drive, and I assume those in the Windows' System, Program Files, Windows32, etc. should NOT be deleted, but I can't tell.
