    Annoying sleep behavior


    Hello,

    I have a Dell Optiplex 980 desktop and everything runs smooth with Windows 10. I do have a problem with sleep. The PC goes to sleep after 60 minutes as it's set to. Upon waking it up if I do not keep using keyboard or mouse it goes right back to sleep within a minute. It's annoying when you're reading an email and the PC keeps going in to sleep mode. I think the BIOS is set to S1.

    What's the culprit?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. W10 Start menu always up on waking from sleep

    The Question is "W10 Start Menu always up upon waking from sleep"

    As someone else said: "Every time my computer wakes up from sleeping, the start menu is showing, which is really
    annoying."

    GearWorld's reply doesn't address the issue at all.

    Is there an answer or is Windows 10 incapable of that simple behavior?

    Nokia Asha 311 unexpectedly goes into sleep mode

    My 311 is showing erratic behavior. It goes into sleep mode while using it (no app in particular). Very annoying! I've tried taking out the battery, but still the same happens. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do about it? Suggestions
    will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, there are lots and lots of threads on sleep issues on this forum... could I suggest it's worth searching through them, then posting back with what you've tried (or even success *Smile)? Thanks!

    Edit each of the sub-keys. Each corresponds to one of the power plans. If you choose ACSettings (Decimal value is 3600 seconds for 1 hour) you are choosing a behavior for when the machine is plugged in, DCSettings are for battery power.
