Windows 10: Windows 10 goes to sleep too early - a possible solution

HP Probook 450 G2

Win10 Pro 64-bit


My Win-10 laptop began going to sleep too early in 2017, and all the suggestions for setting the timeouts to "never" and such like made no difference at all. I did a lot of research and discovered this problem seems to be wide-spread.


I am not talking about the screensaver - this is definitely Sleep Mode.


By accident I discovered that by pulling out the battery in sleep mode would resolve the problem for a while. But this is risky and I had to recover it from a "blue-screen" error once which was a heart-stopping experience. However, the trouble-free period was very variable and apparently not related to anything I was doing.


So I have been monitoring the laptop since late 2017 and recording instances of the early sleep mode occurring and a few other things including updates.


Anyway, a week ago I had reason to suspect that it begins after using the sleep button. So I have only been shutting down, and not using the sleep button since midday on the 30th December 2018. I know it's not long but so far so good.


I invite others with this problem to try this too and report the results.

Windows 10 (sometimes) goes to sleep after only 2 minutes of inactivity

Hello Mark,

Your screensaver might be one of the possible reasons why your computer goes to sleep every time the computer is inactive. It is possible that the idle time is set every 2 minutes. Having said that, you can try adjusting the waiting time by following the
steps below and see if it makes any difference:

• Go to Control Panel, click on Appearance and Personalization.
• Select Personalization.
  
• Click on Screen Saver at the bottom right.
• Adjust the waiting time and hit Apply.

If the issue persists, we recommend trying the suggestions posted by Aleksandr 10 in this
thread. Most of the Community users found his suggestions
