    PC Going To Sleep After 3 Minutes


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10. After my upgrade my computer will shut off after 3 minutes of not using it. I have all power settings set to 30 minutes after no use. On battery and plugged in. Does anyone else have the same issue? If anyone has any solutions please help.

    :)

    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.

    My pc is going to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity

    Hi Sebastien,

    Sleep mode problems are often caused by a complication during the startup process. To check whether this is the case, restart your PC in safe mode and see if the issue persists. If it no longer happens in safe mode, you’ll need to perform a clean boot to
    see what’s at fault. You may refer to this
    article     for more information.

    Another way to prevent your PC from going to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity is by restoring its default power settings. To do so, go to
    Settings > System > Power & sleep >
    Additional power settings. Select Choose when to turn off the display, then click on
    Change advanced power settings. Click on Restore plan defaults.

    Let us know how it turns out.
