Hi, I have a relatively new laptop and it just keeps going to sleep. I have been into settings and set everything I can think of to 'never', but if I stop actively touching the keyboard or touchpad for five minutes it just goes to sleep. It is REALLY annoying. Anyone any idea why it is doing this and how to stop it?

    Go into your power settings and select the option for your laptop to not go into the “sleep” mode.

    • Your PC might be going to sleep randomly because of misconfigured power plan settings.
    • The problem can occur if you are using an outdated graphics driver.
    • Any product with strong magnetic power near your computer can also be the reason behind the issue.

    USE THE POWER TROUBLESHOOTER

    Step 1: Press the Windows + I keys shortcut to open the Settings app, choose System from the left sidebar, and then select Troubleshoot option in the right pane.

    Step 2: Select Other troubleshooters.

    Step 3: Click the Run button next to the Power option.


    A troubleshooter window will appear and scan your computer for any available power issues. If it finds any, it will automatically resolve it.

    After the troubleshooting process is complete, restart your computer and check if you are still facing the problem.
