  1. Netowork connections become dormant after 2 minutes on Windows 10


    All network connections, after the comptuer starts or after the adaptor gets enabled, become dormant after a set period of time around a minute or maybe 2, I didn't count but it is a fixed period of time by feeling They show as disabled in network connections but are actually dormant if I use the command in the powershell to see the status. They cannot be reenabled because they are dormant and must be reset by disabling and enabling the network adaptor device. If they happen to connect successfully, the network works and I can download stuff but it still becomes dormant after that set period

    laptop always going into Sleep mode after 2 to 3 min when dormant.

    I downloaded Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, when starting up my Laptop my laptop will go into sleep mode if it is dormant for 2 min, the screensaver doesn't start up either. In power options when plugged in all say never so is there a fix for this as its
    a pain having to sign in every 2 minute's.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 (sometimes) goes to sleep after only 2 minutes of inactivity

    Hello Mark,

    Your screensaver might be one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep every time the computer is inactive. It is possible that the idle time is set every 2 minutes. Having said that, you can try adjusting the waiting time by following the
    steps below and see if it makes any difference:

    • Go to Control Panel, click on Appearance and Personalization.
    • Select Personalization.
    • Click on Screen Saver at the bottom right.
    • Adjust the waiting time and hit Apply.

    If the issue persists, we recommend trying the suggestions posted by Aleksandr 10 in this
    thread. Most of the Community users found his suggestions
    helpful.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.
