Windows 10: Why is the Network button not showing when idle or in sleep mode?

After my computer went idle or in sleep mode, it not only disconnect my wifi I was connected to, but also removes the network button to even reconnect it. How do I fix this?

Entering Away Mode instead of Sleep as a result of system idle?

Thanks for your comment - your solution would surely work as well!

What I ended up doing is that...

1. I set the system's sleep & hibernation timer to "Never" as you suggested and...
   
2. I created a .bat file, which sends the system into sleep after a certain idle period. Due to my Away Mode Policy, the computer does not go to normal Sleep, but instead goes into Away Mode instead, because the .bat file is considered as "User intiated action"
   
3. I then scheduled the .bat file to be run after a certain time period of idle with Task Scheduler
   

Kind regards,

Joona

 

Bluetooth still on while idle

Thanks for following the steps. Now, the settings won't take effect if you are only using normal PC idle mode. Normal functionality of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings are to stay connected even if PC is idle. With the settings that you have created, we would
suggest that you set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or
Hibernate once idle. In this way, the settings "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" should take effect.

To set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or Hibernate when idle, please follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel, set view by: Small
  icons.
• Look for Power Options.
• Click on Change when the computer sleeps on the left pane.
• Set a timer.

Please try it out. Hope it helps. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to come back to us.

 

Nokia 6350 How to alter screen save/idle mode/sleep mode/timeout

As a further note, I found this line in a recent Cnet review of the phone;



"Iin sleep mode, the screensaver shows up and calls drop if you don't answer quickly. No dropped calls if not in sleep mode."



So it seems like someone else has seen, and found a fix for, this problem. But I cannot find anything like a 'sleep mode', 'idle mode' or 'screensaver' referenced in the phone's menus or in the pdf user guide.



Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I posted a question to Nokia's online product support, but so far have received no response.



Thanks -
