  1. Laptop going to sleep when idle (power options set to "Never")


    When plugged in, this Toshiba laptop goes into sleep mode at roughly two minutes of idle time. When plugged in, I have the power options set to "Never". This just recently began occurring. Any ideas?

    :)

  2. WINDOWS 10 UPDATE MAKES MY PC LAG

    After you install the update, there's numerous backend processes that run. I'd wait for those to finish before running your benchmarks. It can take a few days if your computer never gets a lot of idle time, so I usually recommend setting your power options
    to "never sleep" and then letting it idle overnight to finish.

    Windows 10 Sleep Mode-Won't Wake Up!!!

    I had the same issue and did this workaround: Under Settings, choose System, then Power & Sleep. Under "on battery, go to sleep", I chose NEVER, and under "when plugged in, go to sleep", I chose NEVER

    Laptop going to sleep when idle (power options set to "Never")

    Is it actually sleeping or just blanking the screen?

  5. I've tried resetting the power options to default as well.

    Had exact same issue, power plan set to go sleep after 2 hours, but computer would SOMETIMES go to sleep after 2 minutes.

    The solution was delete the following registry key (make sure you create a backup first!):
    Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0\DefaultPowerSchemeValues[/quote] (this solution was found at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...074fa08?auth=1)
