  1. Windows 10 laptop (Dell Latitude 9240) always goes to sleep despite power plan saying not to


    I have tried to dig in the settings as much as I can and prevent it from ever going to sleep, however the screen still turns black after 1 minute if it cannot see my face. In the power and sleep I have everything set to never go to sleep and have made a custom plan to do the same. In the power plan I also have it to never turn off the display. I use the laptop to run a program and need the display to stay on because it will kill the program. Any recommendations?



    *typo, Dell Latitude 9420

    Lenovo Laptop - Windows 10 - Power and Sleep Settings Not Working

    Despite selecting 'Never' for 'When plugged in, turn off after' for both 'Screen' and 'Sleep' within the 'Power and Sleep Settings' window--please see attached screen dump--and my laptop being plugged in, it still goes to sleep / shuts down after a short time of inactivity. Can any suggest why it is doing this and how to fix it?

    Laptop screen goes black after 10 minutes

    Hi Mark,

    To help you with your concern, let me suggest you to check the Power saver of your laptop. Please follow the steps below on how to see the settings of the Power saver:

    • Press Windows key and search for Settings
    • Click Power & sleep
    • Click Additional power settings
    • If can't be seen on the window, click Show additional plans then select
      Change plan settings beside Power saver
    • Edit the settings then click Save changes

    Please let us know how it goes for us to assist you further.
