Computer goes sleep in 5 minutes even I set it to 30 minutes

 

why the 5 minutes break?

Hi all, I don’t know if this is a known matter and if there’s a solution.

Normal procedure for locking keypad and unlocking:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to be locked,
• I press Unlock key (here it’s menu key) and * key (star key) then enter correct Security code 12345.
• Phone is Unlocked.

Nothing’s easy then this. But what if I type wrong codes for a few times just as a test:

• I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
• I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to lock,
• I press unlock key and * key and enter random wrong codes for a few times (NOT 12345),
• phone is still Locked due to wrong Security codes with message “Code error”. Good!
• Now I press Unlock key and *key and this time I enter correct Security code 12345 then ok.
• But Phone is still Locked with message “Code error”!!!! I retry entering correct Security code 12345 again with no luck.
• what do I do? I waited 5 minutes and retried entering Security code 12345 again and OMG this time it’s Unlocked. Good.
• to make sure of this, I repeated steps 1 to 7 and same matter.

Why does the phone lock itself completely on me for 5 minutes that's after a few Erroneous security code test attempts (maybe 3 or 5) even if after this I directly enter correct Code 12345 but it's still locked??

Is there any extra Security code in this case? how to let the phone accept the correct code before 5 minutes?

 

Windows 10 (sometimes) goes to sleep after only 2 minutes of inactivity

Hello Mark,

Your screensaver might be one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep every time the computer is inactive. It is possible that the idle time is set every 2 minutes. Having said that, you can try adjusting the waiting time by following the
steps below and see if it makes any difference:

• Go to Control Panel, click on Appearance and Personalization.
• Select Personalization.
  
• Click on Screen Saver at the bottom right.
• Adjust the waiting time and hit Apply.
