Windows 10: Is there any setting for a laptop to go into sleep mode instead of shutting down when...

My laptop is kinda old so it sometimes overheats and shuts down so is there any option to just make it go into sleep mode?

Computer shuts down instead of going in to sleep mode

Since two weeks my Dell laptop is shutting down every time when:

• Closing the laptop
• Pressing the power button short
• Manually via the Start Menu

All these options are set to Sleep Mode and not Shut Down.

 

Laptop shuts down instead of going to sleep

I have a year-old Asus laptop and recently installed Windows 10. Now, instead of going to sleep it shuts down.

If I just leave it running, eventually it goes to sleep. If I don't leave it sleeping for too long it will wake up properly. But if I leave it sleeping for a while it will shut down. If I close the lid, instead of sleeping it shuts down. Under "what
to do when the lid is closed" it is set to go to sleep but obviously this isn't working properly.

This is getting to be a real pain. Every time I open the lid I have to wait while it boots up.

So far, on a scale of 1 - 10 my satisfaction level with Windows 10 is about a 2!

 

Laptop shuts completely down periodically when going to sleep

I've been enjoying the computer (laptop) shutting completely down every now and then when it goes to sleep, whether automatically or manually. Everything works smooth for up to a few days and suddenly, instead of going to sleep, the unit will just shut down.

I can boot it back up and there will be no problems whatsoever then again, shutting to into sleep mode, it completely shuts down the computer.

Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
