  1. Sleep


    My pc was working normally until i updated windows 10. Currently, my pc goes to sleep when i plug in power cable. I have tried everything i can but it is still not working out. When i had not updated Windows 10, i was not facing this challenge. What could be the reason for my pc sleeping when power cable is connected?

    :)

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