Windows 10: LAN disconnects when screen turns off

Hey, been having this problem for a while, tried every possible solutions, still doesnt work

whenever my screen turns off laptop, LAN disconnects with it...VERY annoying.



:)

 

external display disconnects LAN?


So I'm using a laptop with windows 10 through HDMI to a TV for display, after 10-20 seconds my LAN on modem turns off. forcing me to restart modem because all devices disconnect. I am able to use the laptop without the TV turned on, but as soon as I turn on the TV my internet goes kaput.... any suggestions. I am 100% sure its a windows 10 problem.

 

Good LAN party games?

Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.

 

Windows 10 Lan connectivity keeps getting disconnected.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the Lan connection get disconnected automatically and you need to move the mouse to resume the connection.



We can try changing the Power Management settings for the Network Adapter and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Network Adapters.
   
3. Right click on the Network Adapter, and select
   Properties.
   
4. Now, go to Power Management tab.
   
5. Clear the checkbox for Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
   
6. Click on OK.
   

Let us know how it goes.
