Help, my computer goes to sleep as soon as I become idle. No delay. I cannot always be typing, and I need my computer to stay on during business hours.

I have tried everything, and it won't stop.

    Greetings, Jime! My name is Arif, and I will assist you today.

    Could you please confirm the steps you have taken to prevent your computer from entering sleep mode immediately when idle?

    please give a try the below steps if you haven't tried it yet:

    1. Press Windows key + X, choose Power Options.
    2. Click Change plan settings next to your current plan.
    3. Select Change advanced power settings.
    4. In the Power Options dialog, expand Sleep.
    5. Expand Sleep after, set longer times for On battery and Plugged in, or choose Never and apply and click OK.

    Warm Regards,

    Arif
