If the laptop with Windows 10 is not used for a while, make sure it goes into sleep mode. Or that the screen turns off.
Energy usage
To save power, a laptop is set up in such a way that the screen turns off after a certain time. The device itself also goes into sleep mode after an inactive period. If the period after which this happens is not to your liking, adjust it. Or turn off the functionality.
Enable Sleep Mode
- click on Start.
- click on Institutions.
- click on System.
- click on Power management and sleep mode.
- Use the drop-down menus to set the amount of time before the display turns off and the laptop goes into sleep mode. This is broken down into battery and mains power. Because you may want to save the battery, it is wise to keep the duration short in case of battery power.
- Click on the cross at the top right to close the window.
