Windows 10: Your rendering device has been lost! Application closing!

I got an Acer laptop with an intel core i5 and NVIDIA GTX GeForce 1050 and It has worked pretty well until a couple of weeks ago where it would automatically close Valorant while in a middle of a match.

Sleep closes applications

Hi Gonzo,

Improper power configuration or outdated BIOS are some of the factors that can prevent the sleep function to work properly. As an initial step to prevent the programs/applications from closing upon wake up, we suggest that you reset
the power settings to default. To do this follow the steps below:

• Type Power Options in the search bar and press
  Enter.
• Under Preferred plans, click the Change plan settings link for the plan that you're currently using.
• Click the Restore default settings for this plan link. Click
  Yes if prompted.
• Click the Save changes button.
• Once you're done, check if the issue persists.

In the event that you encounter the same issue, our next option is to check if
BIOS is updated. To do this, we suggest that you contact the device manufacturer or check their support site on how to properly update it.

Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of
BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
