When Sleep Mode is enabled on a Windows Computer, it automatically goes into a state of Low Power Mode after a certain period of inactivity.

Whenever you need to work on your computer again, you will be able to wake your device and get back to work almost immediately by pressing the Power Button.

With default Sleep Mode settings, most Windows computers go into Sleep Mode after 15 Minutes (While on battery) and 30 minutes (when pugged-in to a power supply) of inactivity.

While the default period is good enough for most activities, it may not be suitable in certain cases or suitable for all users.

Luckily, it is easy to fix this problem either by disabling sleep mode or by setting your computer to go into Sleep Mode after a long period of inactivity.
