Windows 10 Not Sleeping When Lid Closed
On win 8 my computer would lock when I close the lid but now it doesn't do that either. Method 3 replaced my settings of hibernate by sleep. This works on many occasions like when browser would not connect, even with.
Laptop Model: ASUS X550JXIssue: I have an external monitor and plan on using it, it would be powered by my laptop which is connected via VGA. I have changed settings to 'Do Nothing' when the laptop lid is being closed and the screen turning off & sleep is all changed to 'Never'. However, despite me changing my settings and even creating a new power plan, my laptop goes to Sleep after about 15 minutes of the lid being closed. I am not idle when this happens, I am surfing the net, typing and moving my mouse.
Everything is fine when the laptop lid is being kept open but I really want to close it due to space constraint. I have also set my monitor as 'Main Display' and I only use the monitor so its a single screen display.
Loving the preview so far but I can't seem to make the laptop got to sleep when the lid is closed. It keeps hibernating. Under my power plan in advanced options It is set to sleep on lid close but when I clicke the button on the side of the power profile page to choose what my computer does when the lid is closed it shows no option selected and when I look at the options there are there it only lists nothing, hibernate, and shutdown. Sleep works on my laptop as I can go to sleep from the shutdown menu.
Windows 10 Not Sleeping When Lid Closed Lyrics
Any advice on how to fix this. I've noticed this frustrating problem along with a couple of other rather major/bizarre flaws in the new Windows 10. How i fixed this was as follows:I copy-paste it from other forums.it works for me =)-I imagine most people have done this bit but here goes anyway:Settings - Accounts - Sign in options - Require sign in box (at the top) and select ' WHEN PC WAKES FROM SLEEP'.THEN i did the following:Settings - Personalisation - select screen saver settings (at the bottom) - Select the screen saver you want or select none BUT MAKE SURE you check the box that says 'ON RESUME, DISPLAY LOG IN SCREEN'.Hope that works for you all. TYry this-Right click the start button and select the Control Panel - Power Options.Select your plan (Balanced?) and 'Change plan settings.' At the bottom of the next window 'Change Advanced power settings'Scroll down to 'Power button and Lid' and open itChange the setting in there, to that you desire.See if it works.If you have no reason to want the hibernate feature, a good way to deal with it is to turn it off entirely.Open a Command prompt (Admin) and type (or copy and paste):powercfg -h off and enter.If you need to restore it again, just replace the off to on.
