Windows 10: Windows 10 Locking/Hibernating Automatically While playing games

Hi,

When i was playing games in my laptop after few minutes the laptop suddenly starts 'locking' with blue background window and it also says hibernating, and then goes to blank. I have to switch off the laptop then on to restart. This is happening only while plugged in the charger. Many says it might be the bad battery issue but i dont think it is because i bought this laptop few days back only 15 days

My Laptop details:

HP Pavillion

Windows 10 1909

RAM 8GB

Graphic card 1650 GTX

1TB HDD

Ryzen 5 3500H

Please Help me solve this issue

:)

 

Taskbar automatically pops up while playing games

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you get the Taskbar while playing games in Full screen mode. Ideally, some games allow you to hide the Taskbar while playing games and some will show the Taskbar by default. We would like to know, if this issue occurs with all the
games or only with one particular game.



If you are facing this issue with one particular game, then there must be some in game setting that you might have to change. If you are facing this issue with all the games, then you can try one workaround and see if that helps.



The workaround is to close Windows Explorer process while you are playing game. This will allow you to play the game uninterruptedly. However, when you End the Windows Explorer process, all the windows that are running in the background will be closed,
which allow you to play the game without any interruption of the Taskbar. When you want all the windows back, you can restart the Windows Explorer process.



Please follow the steps mentioned below to do the same:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc key while playing game, this will open
   Task Manager.
   
2. Look for Windows Explorer process, right click on it and select
   End Task.
   
3. When you want the windows back, open Task Manager by following
   Step 1, and click on File.
   
4. Click on Run new task, type
   explorer.exe and click on OK. Windows Explorer will be restarted and you will have all the windows back again.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

I understand your query related to in game sounds not audible while playing games on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. What is the source of installation of the games?
   
4. Which games are you trying to play?
   
5. What is the make and model of the PC?
   

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the article
