As you all know, the Windows operating system has some settings that allow users to control how long the computer automatically goes to sleep (Sleep mode) when inactive after a certain period of time.
This is a very nice feature, especially on laptops, but sometimes you want to keep your computer from going to sleep automatically, you want to reset the computer sleep time, or you want to turn this feature off completely. .
For example, when you are in the middle of downloading a heavy file and it takes a long time to complete, or you simply want to hang up to plow a certain game. So how to change the automatic sleep time of the computer?
Okay, in this tutorial I will share with you a few simple ways, so you can apply when needed.
#first. Change computer sleep time through Windows Settings
+ Step 1: You press the key combination Windows + I to boot into Windows Settings.
+ Step 2: You access the link System => Power & sleep. Here you will see 2 main parts: One is Screen, two is Sleep.
- Section Screen Allows us to change the time to turn off the computer’s screen.
- Section Sleep help change the sleep time of the computer.
In this article, we are only interested in the Sleep part. You will see two options:
- On battery power, PC goes to sleep after: Is the amount of time your computer will sleep on battery power.
- When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after: Is the time that your computer will sleep when using power.
Now, you just have to choose the desired time.

#3. Using PowerToys software
PowerToys is a software that helps you change the sleep time of your computer much more flexibly than the two traditional ways above. It is a tool that can be downloaded from Microsoft’s GitHub.
+ Step 1: After entering the download page, click on the file *.exe in section Assets.

- Off (Passive): The computer will use the existing system settings to go to sleep.
- Keep Awake Indefinitely: Your computer will always stay awake, never sleep until you change this setting.
- Keep Awake Temporarily: You can set a specific time for the computer to stay awake.
