    When my PC goes to sleep and I need to enter my pin to reopen


    When my PC goes to sleep and I need to enter my pin to reopen - The first time I enter the pin it reverts back to ask again. Seems like I had entered the wrong pin, but when I enter the pin again all is good! I have tried removing the requirement to have a pin , it still asks for a pin. It seems that there is a requirement in the software that needs two pins in sequence. Not sure how I got this problem!

    :)

    PC goes to sleep automatically.

    Hi Hamza,

    Conflicts with the power settings is one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep automatically. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the
      Windows key, type winver, and press the
      Enter
      key.

    Meanwhile, you can try to run the Power troubleshooter. Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with your system's power settings. You can follow the steps below:

    • Open Control Panel by right click on
      Start
      Button.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Click on the view all option on the left panel.
    • Run the Power troubleshooter.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you try to follow the troubleshooting steps in this

    thread
    that were provided by Aleksandr 10 and JanElliott_1969.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Hi Adrian,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please follow the steps below to change your system's sleep settings.

    1. Go to Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Change your desired sleep timing in this Tab.

    2. Now, click on Additional Power Settings > Change Plan Settings >Change Advanced Power Settings.

    3. Expand Sleep and give the appropriate time.

    If this doesn't help, I would suggest you run the built-in troubleshooter:

    Please follow the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” on the Windows Search bar and hit enter.
    • On the left side of the Troubleshooting window, click on “View all”
    • Click on Power. Please provide a password if asked for it and click ok. (Follow the onscreen instructions)
    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    When my PC goes to sleep and I need to enter my pin to reopen

    Bluetooth will not connect when the PC wakes up from sleep on Windows 10.

    You mentioned that Bluetooth isn't working only if the computer have just been activated after sleep. To further isolate the issue, we suggest that you turn off hibernation. Follow this step by step instructions:

    • Right click on the Start Menu button, and choose Command Prompt (Admin)
    • Enter the following line: powercfg /h off
    • Press Enter.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.
