My computer goes to sleep if not being used. This will happen in about 1 minute or so. Power settings are correct, what else could it be?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @babywhl
Thank you for posting back.
Follow the below steps and check if it helps.
Step 1: Press Windows+X, and choose run in the menu.
Step 2: Type regedit in the dialog box and press Enter.
Go the below registry entry and click on attributes on the right side panel and change the value to 2.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0\DefaultPowerSchemeValues
Then close the registry editor and go to power options in power options click on change plan settings and then click on change advanced power settings.
A dialog box will open up select sleep in that, now you will see an option "System unattended sleep timeout" click on that and change the minutes to whatever you prefer.
Let me know how it goes.
Take care.
