Windows 10: Windows 10 on Asus X750L locks/sleeps when ALL SETTINGS are set to NEVER LOCK/SLEEP, and...

Hello, my older sister gave my parents the Asus X750L laptop with Windows 10 installed on it.From the very minute, my parents complained that the laptop was turning off by itself.Upon first inspection, I immediately switched all the sleep settings to NEVER.HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED.After experiencing failed attempts to try and fix the problem, I gave up and decided to use the Reset This PC option.HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.I, myself use Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron, AND NEVER experienced such a problem, when I changed all the settings.What might be causing this persistent proble

Set Windows 10 to only sleep when locked or logged off

Making it to go sleep at log of is easy, as all user tasks are closed at the time. You could run a tool like Caffeine, set it to prevent machine to go to sleep, at log off it will close.

It is easier to just put machine to sleep, instead of lock it. Making it go to sleep when locked could be tricky. While machine is locked, any program, task etc. will still run. Just the same as when computer isn't locked.. But you could set powerplan to go to sleep after 1 minute, and before locking a machine, disable caffeine.

You can put a shortcut for sleep on desktop.

What exactly do you want to achieve?

 

Set Windows 10 to only sleep when locked or logged off

Your plan is kind of different than plan Microsoft (and others) have. It is easier to adapt yourself to system than to adapt the system to you.

My suggestion: set power plan at default settings (system go to sleep after... 20 minutes and turn off monitor after 10.) If you lock the system, or just don't interact with it it will go to sleep.

If you want to prevent it to go to sleep, run caffein or something like it... (music streaming will do too)

 

Windows 10 Sleep/Lock Problem

This advice did not work for me.

Some one wrote this.... just upgraded to Windows 10 and my monitor will not come back from Sleep or Lock Mode without turning off the computer and rebooting.

I am and I am having the same problem with not coming back from sleep mode. If I press the on off button the monitor will come back on
but everything is locked up and then I have to turn it off on the tower. And then turn it back on. What I have found to work is turning the power options to never turn off or sleep and then just turn off the
monitor during the day and then just shut it off at night.
