Have you ever been working diligently on your Windows 10 PC, only to have it suddenly go into standby mode? It can be frustrating, especially if you are in the middle of an important task. Luckily, there are several ways to prevent your PC from going into standby mode. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to keep your Windows 10 PC awake and productive.

Method 1: Adjusting Power & Sleep Settings

The first method involves adjusting the power and sleep settings on your Windows 10 PC. Here's how:

  • Click on the "Start" menu and select "Settings".
  • In the Settings window, click on "System".
  • From the left sidebar, click on "Power & sleep".
  • Under the "Sleep" section, change the drop-down menu for "On battery power, turn off after" and "When plugged in, turn off after" to "Never".
  • Scroll down and click on "Additional power settings".
  • In the Power Options window, click on "Change plan settings" next to your selected power plan.
  • Next, click on "Change advanced power settings".
  • In the Advanced settings window, expand the "Sleep" category and then the "Sleep after" category.
  • Change the values for "On battery" and "Plugged in" to "Never".
  • Click on "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

Method 2: Using Command Prompt

If adjusting the power and sleep settings did not work, you can try using the Command Prompt. Follow these steps:

  • Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, right-click on the "Start" menu and select "Command Prompt (Admin)".
  • In the Command Prompt window, type the command "powercfg -requests" and press Enter. This will display a list showing what devices and applications are currently preventing your PC from going into standby mode.
  • If you find any process listed under the "SYSTEM:" section, note down the process name.
  • Type the command "powercfg -requestsoverride PROCESSNAME", replacing "PROCESSNAME" with the name of the process you noted down earlier.
  • Press Enter to execute the command.

Method 3: Modifying Registry Settings

If the previous methods didn't work, you can make changes to the Windows Registry. Here's how:

  • Open the Registry Editor by pressing the Windows key + R, typing "regedit" into the Run dialog, and pressing Enter.
  • In the Registry Editor window, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings".
  • Expand the "PowerSettings" folder and locate the two subfolders named "238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20" and "6BEEF03D-2A82-4D23-BD95-07D2E8EE37B1".
  • Click on both subfolders and open the "Attributes" DWORD value.
  • Change the value to "2" for both subfolders. This will prevent your PC from going into standby mode.
  • Close the Registry Editor.

By following these methods, you should be able to prevent your Windows 10 PC from going into standby mode. Enjoy uninterrupted productivity on your device!
