Mobile hotspot while pc is sleeping

Hi Nathan,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern. When computer goes to sleep mode which in turn disables necessary services which is why hotspot disconnects. However, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned and check if it works.

1. Open Device Manager by searching for it in search bar.
   
2. Expand Network adapters and right click on
   Wireless Network Adapter.
   
3. Select Properties and go to
   Power Management tab.
   
4. Uncheck the box next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
   

Regards.

 

Mobile hotspot while pc is sleeping

Is there a way to stop mobile hotspot/wifi card from turning off while my pc is sleeping? I have some devices that only connect to my pc’s hotspot but they disconnect when my pc goes to sleep. Is there a way to fix this like stop the wifi card from turning
off while my pcs asleep? Thanks.

 

Mobile hotspot and sleep mode

Thank you for answer.

• I started to use mobile hotspot, which I never did earlier.
• By pressing power button, but the same issue occurs, when I use start->power->sleep
• Yes - I wrote that after I use this function I can't turn computer to sleep mode. It is regardless if I have mobile hotspot turned on or not.

I checked internet and used "powercfg -requests" command in cmd. The result is, that after turning on mobile hotspot i have 2 requests:

SYSTEM:

[SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (icssvc)

AWAYMODE:

[SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe (icssvc)

I don't know how to disable that. I wish I could make Windows insensitive to this requests. The best solution would be if I could turn the laptop to sleep mode, without turning off mobile hotspot (I know, that in sleep mode it would not working), but if
I had to turn it off before using sleep mode it would be O.K.

Regards.
