How to make the computer did not go to sleep

By itself, sleep mode is useful and conceived by developers to save energy during computer downtime. Users sometimes experience inconvenience when he suddenly "falls asleep" at the most inappropriate time. The work of some programs in this case endages incorrectly, errors are issued, a restart is required. Disable sleep mode is performed.

Sleep mode is especially useful for laptops - battery saving, but is practically useless for a personal computer. During the download of the film or the game, the user's performance is not required, and the computer "falls asleep". In these cases, you will need to disable sleep mode. This feature is part of the operation of the operating system. Its main purpose is energy saving, it means that you can turn off in the "Power Supplies" section. Open the Management Panel and find this section there.

In Windows 7-8.1, select "Setting the Transition to Sleep Mode". A new window will open, install "NEW" in the drop-down list, then "Save Changes". On the laptop is still easier - at the bottom right in the tray there is a battery status icon. Click on it right mouse button, find the "Power Supply" in the expanded menu.

In the latest versions of Windows 8 and 8.1 there are additional features to turn off sleep mode. Go to the right panel ("Win + C"), then open sequentially: "Parameters" - "Changing Computer Settings" (bottom) - "Computer and Devices" - "Completing work and sleep mode". Where necessary, set the value of the "Never" field.

Completed changes in the power saving mode are basic. To make more accurate settings for the power schemes, click the "Change additional power options" string. In the "Sleep" section, where it is required, set the value "Never". Carefully learn all the contents of the window. In other items, you can change the operation of the equipment: the transition to sleep mode with a small battery charge - the "Battery" section, shutting down the closing of the cover - "Power buttons and a cover", darkening the screen alone. Save the changes.

In any Windows, there is a general method for disconnecting sleep mode. Call the "Run ..." window - "Win + R", type the "PowerCFG.CPL" command in the input row, press "ENTER". A window will open, in the list of items of which you need - "Setting the transition to sleep mode". The dialog box will be available. In it, the parameters of the power circuit parameters - after what time the display should turn off and turn on the sleep mode.

Failure to work in the computer during sleeping mode (or in hibernation mode) It is explained by the fact that when it is activated, a hidden system file "HIBERFIL.SYS" is created. Its size is commensurate with the size of all RAM, because It saves all temporal information. When the sleep mode you are turned off, the file "hiberfil.sys" remains on the hard disk. He takes place. To remove it in the "Run ..." window, enter the "PowerCFG -H OFF" command in the "Open" string, click OK.

Instead of sleep mode, you can cause the appearance of a beautiful screensaver during computer downtime for a while. Right-click on the free part of the screen, in the open window, select "Personalization". Pick up the screensaver to your taste, set the time through which it should appear if the computer is not used, or disconnect its activation. "Personalization" is in the "Power Supplies" window.

After disconnecting the sleep mode, it is recommended to reboot the computer so that all changes in the power saving parameters entered into force. Make sure that the computer does not "sleep" with idleness, a place was released on the system disk. Do not forget that sleep mode - computer protection from overheating, do not disconnect it without serious necessity.
