solved Sleep no longer works

[Colin]

I can put my iMac (intel,which is up to date), to sleep from the menu bar but does not work through Alfred. All other system commands work.

Sleep Displays works okay but not Sleep

Everything was ok a few days ago and I just noticed it today. Uninstalled Alfred and reinstalled the latest version and activated my Powerpack but it has not resolved the issue.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to get it fixed?

Found the problem. There is a checkbox in Automation that was unchecked. checked it and now it works again.

Wonder how it got unchecked and also wonder why other system commands worked when it was unchecked.

 

Maybe the Alfred update a couple of days ago did it????

macOS only requires specific permissions for certain tasks, and dispatching the required key command for sleeping is one of them.

 

It's impossible to say why this checkbox became unchecked on your Mac, but Alfred wouldn't have changed setting.
