    My windows 11 laptop goes to sleep after a few seconds when I'm not looking at the screen...


    This is really annoying when I'm trying to watch and listen to a Youtube video or something and have to look away from my computer screen for a moment. Or just when I'm only looking away from my laptop for a short period of time for whatever reason.I have the 'screen & sleep' settings all turned on to at least allow for 30mins of inactivity before the screen turns off but this doesn't change anything.

    Windows 11, some applications seem to crash after laptop goes to sleep

    Hello,

    Currently whenever I close my laptop lid for prolonged periods (so the laptop goes to sleep) there seems to be some apps that seem to crash. They disappear completely from my desktop, or have to be forced to stop in task manager in order to restart them.

    These apps are namely:

    • Spotify
    • Trello
    • Whatsapp for PC
    • WSL
    • EarTrumpet
    Wifi also seems to stop working after my laptop goes to sleep. I have to turn it off and on again to for it to work.

    Steps taken to try fix issue:

    • Restored to default power settings
    • Ran power options troubleshooter
    I am currently on the windows 11 insider program, in the Beta branch, and I am on the latest build at the moment

    Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Laptop goes to sleep after 20 seconds with no activity

    *Original Title: Sleep problems Win 10

    My Laptop goes to sleep after 20 seconds with no activity Have followed the suggestions on this forum and apart from removing the Ram Memory have had no success, Another suggested trying a new account which I have done and that account does not have the
    fault but seems I need to double up on all the apps I wish to use

    Laptop with broken screen How much?

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd
