    Sleep when unintended


    Of late, Win10 Pro has taken to sleeping while viewing lengthy videos, instead of waiting until the PC is idle for the period specified. No changes have been made to power/sleep/screensaver settings or programs.

    Not the case in the past. A system image from months ago was restored but spontaneous sleep persists.

    Most all suggestions from the Net have been tested. Network, chipset and video drivers are current.

    Could this annoyance be the result of a Windows update? If so, which one?

    New ideas welcomed.

    :)

      • powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    • Close the Command Prompt window, and then restart your PC to apply the changes.

    by typing it into the Windows Search. Check the When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after
