Hi, I have no issue with this problem with my windows 10 , however when I upgrade to windows 11, it tends to close all my apps when it is sleeping for many hours (chrome and other apps). I tried to go to the control panel, power options and go to the sleep option (which I was intending to click on the hybrid sleep) but the the hybrid sleep just doesn't appear. Please help . Really thanks :)

Its very unwise to leave apps open when sleeping for an extended length of time for many reasons.
Personally for a home use laptop I would set it to sleep after 30 minutes and never leave apps open overnight or for for any extended period, and you should shutdown overnight
I have the same issue, but not for "long" or short sleep. It started with the Windows 11 upgrade that now when my computer goes into sleep mode (for any duration), anything open in applications like Edge, Outlook and Word are closed, and then generate messages such as "Windows did not shut down normally. . .".
In Word, it generates a recovered unsaved file that I then must sort out saving and replacing the original file. This can happen over short periods of time of walking away from my desk, etc. I have pretty good file saving habits. This is both new and very annoying. Is there a fix?
Hi there, I had the same issue just tried this and think it should probably work.
Windows computer closes all apps when going to Sleep or Standby (thewindowsclub.com)
It is a windows 10 fix page but I think it applies to windows 11 as well.
Hope this helps everyone
I tried two of the three of these. I have not created and run the .bat file. On the others, I can find no "hybrid" mode in Windows 11. And when I did manage to find a "power troubleshooter", all it did was reset my monitor and sleep settings back to the defaults, from the more lengthy intervals I had set. Apparently, I considers durations of over 10 minutes "trouble."
Thanks for the suggestions, but it looks like the routines for working with Windows 10 are not translating over to Windows 11 for this. I could attempt to create and run that .bat file, but I am a bit hesitant about that.
Hi,
I have windows 11 myself and was able to find the "hybrid" mode, hope this image below helps.
