Windows 10: PC Keeps Becoming Unresponsive - Usually After Going to Sleep

Hi all,New MSI Cubi running Windows 11 keeps becoming unresponsive - usually after it goes into sleep mode. The only solution from there is to hold in the power button to switch off.Windows updates are current and the PC is not running any excessive software/startup programs, also not running low on storage/memory.I have checked the Event logs and there are several warnings/errors present prior to forced power-off, however I am unsure which ones are possibly relevant to the unresponsiveness.Thanks in advance for any assistance.

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.

 

LibreOffice keeps going "unresponsive"

I like to keep 5 or 6 spreadsheets open all the time. Currently on LibreOffice 6.1.1.2 (x64) Since about 3 months and 2 updates ago, it keeps going unresponsive and I have to shut it down, several times a week. I do use hibernate on Windows 10 but not sure if that is causing the problem. The laptop is only otherwise used for browsing.

The spreadsheets are not big and nothing special. A few basic formulae and one spreadsheet has a basic chart. The only other problem I also only recently noticed is that one formula has a delayed update, so I have to change a cell value, a second time, for the formula to be up-to-date, otherwise it reflects the previous value.

I'm thinking of trying an alternative to LibreOffice but would be shame if there is a simple solution to going unresponsive. Any suggestions? (or confrmation if it is a known issue)


EDIT to add: It is after a period of having LibreOffice minimized and I try to "restore" the window, that it goes not responding.
