Windows 10: How do I prevent my computer from shutting down and all my applications from closing?

Hi, I've been looking at various forums and questions to try and solve this issue, but nothing is working.My laptop windows 10 has recently been shutting down completely when I close the lid and has been for the past week or so. My power settings indicate that when I close the lid it should enter sleep mode. These settings have not changed since I got the laptop. I saw recommendations to put close lid settings to "do nothing", however I don't want to do this as I am a college student who usually carries my laptop around a lot and often doesn't plug it in all the time.

Sleep closes applications

Hi Gonzo,

Improper power configuration or outdated BIOS are some of the factors that can prevent the sleep function to work properly. As an initial step to prevent the programs/applications from closing upon wake up, we suggest that you reset
the power settings to default. To do this follow the steps below:

• Type Power Options in the search bar and press
  Enter.
• Under Preferred plans, click the Change plan settings link for the plan that you're currently using.
• Click the Restore default settings for this plan link. Click
  Yes if prompted.
• Click the Save changes button.
• Once you're done, check if the issue persists.

In the event that you encounter the same issue, our next option is to check if
BIOS is updated. To do this, we suggest that you contact the device manufacturer or check their support site on how to properly update it.

Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of
BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk. 


Let us know should you need further assistance.

 

CInkStoreShared Message Window is preventing you from shutting down

Hi,

The message "This app is preventing you from restarting" is usually occurring if an application is actively running in the background of PC that is about to shutdown or restart. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following
questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes have you made to your computer before this issue happened?
• Is the same issue happening even if you close all of the running programs on your computer before shutting it down?
• What troubleshooting shooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest performing a clean boot on your device. If the problem does not occur while
your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program is likely causing interference. To determine which background program is causing the issue, start by turning off all drivers, third-party programs or services, and startup items that load with Windows.
If you are able to determine which specific program or service is causing the issue, disable it and let us know what program is causing the issue.

We are looking forward to your response.
