Windows 10: Computer keeps going to sleep even when I'm playing a game.

I've turned the sleep settings to never, I've updated the drivers and my computer, and it's still not stopping. For two weeks it works fine then, it goes into sleep mode for another two weeks at random times, then back to normal. It's a weird pattern I really want to stop. I turn it back on and my progress is still there right where I left it, but it then it immediately goes right back to sleep. This is on my computer not a laptop. Some times it goes back on for one sec maybe two, not long enough to even log into my computer. I really need help with this, I've tried to uninstall and reinstall windows 10 and still nothing its working.

iTunes stops playing when the computer go to sleep

Hi Ross,

Sleep mode is designed to stop all actions on a computer as it puts the device to a low-power state. Since you want to continue using a program even while your computer is locked, we suggest turning off Sleep mode by following these steps:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Click System.
• Choose Power & Sleep from the left pane.
• Under Sleep, choose Never.
