    How to Put Your Computer to Sleep in Windows 10


    Sleep uses very little power, your PC starts up faster, and youre instantly back to where you left off. You dont have to worry that you'll lose your work because of your battery draining because Windows automatically saves all your work and turns off the PC if the battery is too low. Use sleep when youre going to be away from your PC for just a little while like when youre taking a coffee break.

    For a lot of PCs (especially laptops and tablets), your PC goes to sleep when you close your lid or press the power button.

    This tutorial will show you different ways on how to put your local Windows 10 PC to sleep.

    need to change Fx keyboard key

    @Shdw_ careful with binding F4 to anything as ALT + F4 is universal for force closing an application. Not so great when you're in the middle of a game.

    Disabling extra media functions of a keyboard typically comes down to drivers provided by the keyboard manufacturer. By default F4 doesn't initiate sleep, is it safe to assume that you are on a laptop keyboard? If so disable the hotkey in their software.

    Here are the default methods in Windows 10 to put your computer to sleep:

    Option One: To Sleep Computer from Start Menu

    [*]Option Two: To Sleep Computer from Win+X Power User Tasks Menu
    [*]Option Three: To Sleep Computer from Alt+F4 Shut Down Windows Dialog
    [*]Option Four: To Sleep Computer from Ctrl+Alt+Del Screen
    [*]Option Five: To Sleep Computer from Sign-in Screen
    [*]Option Six: To Sleep Computer in Power Options
    [*]Option Seven: To Sleep Computer from Power Buttons and Lid

    Windows 10 will not wake up once it has gone into sleep mode!

    I downloaded Windows 10 from having Windows 7. Once the computer enters sleep mode, nothing brings the computer out of sleep mode since I downloaded Windows 10.

    How do you fix the problem? I have to hold down the power button and reboot it every time it goes into sleep mode.

    Sleep Computer in Windows 10

    Hello Joseph, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    The computer should be considered active while downloading, and prevent it from going to sleep by default.

  5. Not sure what you mean by that, But even when im downloading if my sleep time is set to say 3 minutes its going to sleep and my download is interrupted..

    So I found a tool called "Dont sleep" and it fixed what I was looking for..This tool is useful especially for tablets where the sleep time is always shorter to preserve battery..
