    Computer not going to sleep


    My computer will not go to sleep, I have tried changing the times the screen will shut off and the time that the computer will actually go into hibernation and it just never turns off. I will head to bed and I will wake up and it will still be on!! Does anyone know what is wrong?? Is this a big?? Thank you In advance.

    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.

    Computer not going to sleep

    Computer stopped going into sleep mode

    Hello, Kiran.

    My computer is up to date and I didn't change any settings prior or after the update

    I tried step one, but I haven't wait the time required for the computer to go into sleep mode. I did change the 30 minute wait to 10 minutes. So, I'll wait and see what happens
