I am not sure what happened today but my My Cloud is now going back into HDD Standby Mode like it was before. It is in that mode now and I am using my desktop.
I know there were problems earlier today because there is a topic/message posted about that.

EDITED: I spoke too quick. While it worked for a while after getting up yesterday morning and completing the install of the latest Windows updates my My Cloud has not gone back into the sleep mode since that was completed. I am thinking there are clashes between Windows and Western Digital causing this.
EDITED 8-18-2014: My, My Cloud, is now going into HDD Standby Mode again. Here is what I did this morning and at this time it is working.
- I shut down my My Cloud and unplugged the power from the back.
- On my desktop computer I changed the sleep time to 25 minutes. After my desktop went to sleep I woke it and then waited for it to go back to sleep. After waking it the second time I reset the sleep time to four hours because that is where I want it. I shut down my desktop.
- I started up my My Cloud by plugging in the cable on the back and watching for the LED to turn blue and left it. After about 30 minutes I came back and checked it and it was sleeping, blue LED blinking. I woke it up using my cell phone and the My Cloud App. I left it again and waited another 30 to 40 minutes before checking it. It was back in sleep mode.
- I started up my desktop computer and during startup it woke up my My Cloud. After waiting a while I noticed the My Cloud had gone back in sleep mode with blue LED blinking.
I hope this is the fix for the problem, just have to wait and see.
