  1. All of a sudden Alt+F1 is putting Windows to sleep


    I usually use Fn+F1 to put Windows 10 to sleep, but I was in a program that I normally use Alt+F1 in and it put Windows to sleep! It's never done that before and I don't know why.


    Can anyone help me restore Alt+F1 to just do nothing, except in programs where it's used?

    :)

    PC shuts down instead of sleeps when I use Fn F1 to put it to sleep.

    This didn't used to happen, but now when I manually put my computer to sleep via the Fn F1 key, when I come back to wake it up and use it, I find it's turned off instead of asleep.
