  1. wifi keeps turning off when laptop goes to sleep


    Whenever my laptop goes to sleep or when I lock it or go to sleep, WiFi automatically disconnects after a couple minutes, it's frustrating because all the updates in the background and activities on the tabs open in the browser are affected.I recently bought my DELL XPS 15.I saw a lot of responses online too, they're old, 5-6 years old and others don't work.Please suggest some better working solution.Thanks,

    :)

    Hi Teri,

    Conflicts with the screensaver settings is one of the possible reasons why your laptop goes to sleep quickly. Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue? We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps in this

  3. Prevent sleep mode from turning off WiFi adapter?

    Just within the last week or two, so I'm guessing that a Windows 10 update is the culprit, when my laptop goes into sleep mode, which it does dozens of times throughout the day as I travel from account to account, Windows is not turning off the WiFi adaptor.
    Thus, every time I wake up the computer I have to either manually turn the WiFi off and on to get it to reconnect, and sometimes have to run network diagnostics to reestablish my connection. I've researched keeping the WiFi connection live in sleep mode, but
    there is no longer a Power Management tab for my WiFi adapter in Device Manager/Properties, so the solutions I've found aren't available to me. My laptop was definitely not behaving this week for the first several months I've had it, so I suspect there was
    an update that both eliminated the Power Management function at the WiFi adapter level and forced the WiFi shutoff in sleep mode as the default. This has become a serious pain. Any suggestions?

    WiFi and Bluetooth keep disconnecting whenever laptop goes into sleep mode

    I am having a huge issue with my new HP Pavilion laptop that I purchased a couple of weeks ago whereby whenever the device goes into sleep mode, my WiFi and Bluetooth adaptors turn off and do not come back on again.

    I have ensured all my drivers are up to date and have disabled the power management function that switches the adaptors off to save power. In addition, once I bring my laptop out of sleep mode, my WiFi adaptor appears to be on but will not find any available
    networks (I normally have two available in my home constantly).

    My windows version is currently Windows 10 Home version 1903.

    I've scoured the internet to try and find possible solutions but I'm running into all the same recommendations that just do not seem to work! Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this? I'm happy to try any suggestion prior to just going
    for a complete factory reset.

    If you need any further information about my hardware/software, just let me know.

    Thanks in advance!
