Windows 10: All applications close when laptop goes to sleep

I have a brand new XPS 13 9380. Whenever my laptop goes to sleep it exits out all of the applications that were open. How do I fix it so they don't close out?


Thanks

Sleep Mode closes all applications

When I wake up my laptop from sleep it appears to have closed all the applications including chrome tabs and word documents. With word it is causing a lot of lost material.

This started happening back in January, and I still haven't found a fix - Please suggest something.

 

Can't close laptop without monitor sleeping.

Hi Carol,

A factor why your laptop goes to sleep when you close the lid is due to the configuration of the power settings. To configure the power settings to do nothing when you close the lid, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R > Type powercfg.cpl in the box > Hit
  OK.
• From the left side panel, select Choose what closing the lid does > Under
  Power button and lid settings set the options beside When I close the lid: for
  On battery and Plugged in to Do nothing.
• Click Save changes.

Let us know the result.
