Windows 10: Laptop turning off/going to sleep when idle only 1 or 2 minutes

Hi all,


Today my laptop updated windows. Afterwards, my laptop now turns off/falls asleep after 1 or 2 minute idle. If I catch it and immediately move the cursor, it does nothing, I have to press a button to turn it on. I checked my power & sleep settings, the screen was set to 10 minutes and sleep after 15 minutes. I changed both to 20, and it is still doing it. I checked my screen saver, and I did not have one turned on, I turned the blank black screen, set to turn on after 10 minutes, but it still doing shutting off/sleeping after 1 or 2 minutes idle. This is occurring after the windows update, so I think it is because of that, but I do not know how to fix or what else to change. Thank you for your help!

My Laptop is keep going to sleep every 1 min of idle

Hi,

I am using windows 10 on Lenovo ideapad 700-17ISK. My laptop is keep going to sleep mode every 1 minute of idle! Even though my power settings are not stated that way. On battery it should go to sleep after 15 minutes of idle and while plugged in it should
go to sleep after 30 minutes of idle. I have tried to fix this applying some methods I found in some website, but unfortunately nothing worked. This problem started after the last update of the windows 10 (may be last week)!

 

My pc is going to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity

Hi Sebastian,

Your PC might be set to sleep once it is idle for 5mins. For you to adjust this setting, we suggest looking into the
Power Options advanced settings. Follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel and click on Power Options.
• On your Preferred plans, click Change plan settings.
• Click Change advanced power settings.
• Expand Sleep and System unattended sleep timeout.
• Set how many minutes you want your system to be left idle before it goes to sleep.

Let us know how it turns out.

Regards.

 

PC going to sleep after 2 minutes no matter what the power setting are.

I have a Toshiba Satellite S75 laptop running Windows 10. It has a 2.60GHz CPU, 8Gb Ram and a 700 Gb hard drive. Recently my PC has started going to sleep after 2 minutes no matter what the setting are. I am using the Balanced power plan. The laptop
is plugged in and those setting are set as follows: a) turn screen off - 3 hours; b) put computer to sleep 4 hours. I checked advanced power settings and found the following: 1) turn hard disk off after - 300 minutes; 2) sleep after 240 minutes; 3) Allow
hybred sleep is off; 4) hibernate after - 300 minutes and 5) turn off display after 180 minutes. Again all of these setting are for when the computer is plugged in.

The screen saver is set to start after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Any suggestions on how to get it to quite going to sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity? Thanks.
