    After waking up, computer goes sleep again after short interval of inactivity.

    I have set that my computer can never go to sleep on its own. Which works until I activate sleep mode. When I wake it up, it goes to sleep on its own after very short interval of inactivity (like a minute). It is very annoying and I do not know what to
    do. I have been experiencing this issue since fall update.

    After Windows 10 Anniversary Update Computer Not Sleeping

    Hello.

    Does disabling the HID-Complaint Touch Screen driver resolves the issue? If yes, we suggest that you disable it and see if your device go into Sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

    We also suggest to check if the settings of the Power Options of your device are set so that the device will go into Sleep mode after a period of time. You may follow the steps below to check is Sleep mode is enabled on your device:

    • Press the Windows button + X, then click on
      Power Options.
    • Click Change when the computer
      sleeps.
    • Change the settings to your preferred settings.

    Keep us updated on the results.

    Regards.

    Windows 10 puts computer to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity

    Windows 10 shuts down the display and puts my computer to sleep after just a few minutes (2 to 3) of inactivity. I have the power and sleep settings on 1 hour for both battery and plugged in. Any suggestions to keep the computer running?
