how to stop computer from turning off
Your Windows 10 computer is set to go to sleep after a certain amount of time in order to help conserve power or your laptop’s batteries. However, it can be annoying if your computer is going to sleep when you don’t want it to. Here’s how to turn off sleep mode and disable hibernation on your Windows 10 PC.
On Windows laptops and other PCs, you can set how quickly the display and the whole computer go to “sleep” when you take a break from working on it. This is a kind of a power stand-by feature. It is primarily used to save laptops’ battery life.
On laptop PCs, Windows 10 provides separate timeout times for when the laptop runs on the battery and for when it is plugged into the power source.
Let’s say you want to turn off the display after 3 minutes and put the whole laptop to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity while it is running off the battery. And 30 minutes and 1 hour respectively while the laptop is plugged in. Here’s how to do that.
For instance, you can set the display to turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity. If you don’t type anything and don’t move the mouse pointer for 3 minutes, the display will be turned off. The same can be applied to the whole laptop computer, which will enter the sleep mode after inactivity period you selected in Windows’ Power & Sleep settings (as shown below). In the sleep mode, the laptop’s display is turned off, while the main internal components “sleep”, with a very low power consumption involved.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
