  1. CTRL + Spacebar putting my laptop to sleep


    I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop equipped with Microsoft 10 that is having a weird issue that I can't seem to find in any other forums. My laptop is connected to two external monitors, and I work/type using an external keyboard via a Bluetooth receiver.Without fail, every time I press CTRL + Spacebar on my keyboard, my monitors flash black, and I end up at the screen where my computer is Sleeping, at which point I need to unlock again using my PIN. What is happening? What can I do to eliminate this from happening. The keys are not mapped to something else, because obviously when I use the CTR

    Stay in sleep and wake with spacebar

    Hi, you can disable hibernation if you wish:
    Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 10

    This depends what devices are able to wake your PC. You can list these:

    Powercfg /devicequery /.......
    Description:
    Returns a list of devices that meet the specified criteria.

    Parameter List:
    <QUERYFLAG> Specifies one of the following criteria:

    wake_from_S1_supported ....Return all devices that support waking the system
    from a light sleep state.
    wake_from_S2_supported ....Return all devices that support waking the system
    from a deeper sleep state.
    wake_from_S3_supported ....Return all devices that support waking the system
    from the deepest sleep state.
    wake_from_any ......................Return all devices that support waking the system
    from any sleep state.

    S1_supported List devices supporting light sleep.
    S2_supported List devices supporting deeper sleep.
    S3_supported List devices supporting deepest sleep.
    S4_supported List devices supporting hibernation.
    wake_programmable List devices that are user-configurable to wake
    the system from a sleep state.
    wake_armed List devices that are currently configured to
    wake the system from any sleep state.
    all_devices Return all devices present in the system.
