Windows 10: Computer acts strange after going to sleep closing lid

I am having a problem with my laptop. Its an Asus Zenbook on Windows 10.


The issue is often not always, but frequently after I close the lid and the laptop goes to sleep whether it be for 10 min or overnight this causes problems.


The main problems are:

1 When I wake up all my windows are closed. I'm not sure if the computer just closes everything or just restarts but everything I am working on is gone. You can imagine this is frustrating. this happens a lot overnight in particular.

2 When I wake it up the wi-fi doesn't work. This is especially if I put it to sleep while the VPN is on Express VPN. When I wakeup the wifi will be connected but say no internet connection or something like that and I need to completely stop the VPN and restart it to get it to work again and this process can be time consuming.


I am not sure why this is happening but any help you might offer would be greatly appreciated. I am sure the fix to this is simple but I just dont know it


Thanks!

Laptop keeps restarting after going to sleep (when the lid is closed).

Hi Craig,

It's possible that your lid close action is configured to shut down your computer. To make sure your settings are properly configured, you can refer to the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then choose Control
  Panel.
• Change the View by: option on the upper-right-part of the screen to Small icons.
• Choose Power Options.
• Select your power plan (e.g. High Performance), then choose Change plan settings.
• Click Change advanced power settings.
• Go to Sleep settings, then disable hybrid sleep.
• Under Power Buttons and Lid, check if
  Sleep is chosen as action when lid is close.
  
• Hit Apply and OK.

If the lid close action is set to Sleep, we suggest checking if your drivers are up-to-date. When it comes to sleep mode issues, the driver related are network, chipset, and BIOS drivers. To update your drivers, you can refer to this

link.

We look forward to your response.
