    Win 10 freezes if accidentally interrupted while going into sleep mode


    When my displays time out, the options are set to give me 5 minutes to hit any key to bring them back, preventing sleep/standby. That works fine, except if I am a few seconds too late and the sleep sequence has already silently started. When that happens the computer stays locked with the screens dark and the fans running, requiring a forced shutdown. It there a solution?

    Win 10 Backups & Sleep Mode

    Hi Ruth,

    I should clarify the reason the backup was cancelled.

    The actual message was... "Backup was cancelled by User", and I am quite sure that it was because the PC entered Sleep Mode.

    The Win 10 backup is being stored on an external 2Tb USB drive.

    So to put my questions again...

    • If I schedule a weekly backup, and the PC is in Sleep mode at the appointed time, will the PC wake up to allow the backup to run?
    • Can Sleep Mode be prevented whilst a Backup is running?
    TIA
