Windows 10: Computer goes to sleep when stop typing

RobertaBlackburn · Mar 6, 2019

My computer goes to sleep in two minutes when I stop typing. I have to relog several times a day. It is really very annoying. Please suggest a troubleshooting method

System goes to sleep within seconds I stop typing

As soon as I stop typing, the system goes to sleep after approximately 5 seconds. All my power options is Never Sleep.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thank you. *cry

Music stops playing when monitor goes to sleep

Hi Leanna,

Thank you for posting that in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I’ll be glad to assist you.

This feature is by design even in previous versions of Windows. Whenever the computer goes into sleep mode or get into hibernation, there is no program running on computer. All the programs (Music, video and virus scan) will be suspended and to make it work
you have to bring the computer out of the sleep mode.

Try disabling the sleep mode if you wish to have the music whenever you are away from the computer.

Type Power Options in the search bar and click on it.

On left pane, Select Change when the computer sleeps.

Make "Put the computer into sleep" to NEVER and press
Save Changes.

This setting will never put the computer to sleep mode.

Hope this post helps. If you have any concerns, please do let us know. We are happy to help.

I am also not happy with this answer, as it doesn't even address the issue raised.

The issue is not that it is stopping playing when the computer goes to sleep (which it does of course), but it is that it stops playing when the screen is turned off for power management reasons.

I have been down the setting and it's set to high performance settings and it's set to turn nothing off apart from the screen. The question is why would power management turning the screen off cause an app to go to sleep and stop playing?
