How to Stop Computer From Sleeping

How to stop my computer from going to sleep in Windows 7?

To change the sleep settings on your Windows 7 computer, follow these steps:

1. Go to the “Control Panel” from the Windows Start menu.
2. Click on “Hardware and Sound.”
3. Then select “Power Options.”
4. Click on “Change Plan settings” next to the power plan you wish to modify.
5. Choose “Change advanced power settings.”
6. Scroll down until you find the “Sleep” option.
7. Under “Sleep after” and “Hibernate after,” set the values to “0” (zero).
8. Under “Allow hybrid sleep,” set it to “Off.”

By following these steps, you can customise your computer’s power settings to ensure that it does not enter sleep or hibernate mode automatically in your Windows 7.

Final Thoughts:

Your sleep settings can prove to be quite annoying sometimes and depending on the nature of your work, you may want to get rid of it. So, follow the steps above and your computer will never go to sleep again, not until you put it to sleep yourself.

Windows 10 users may have a different interface; however, they can follow the same steps i.e. go to the “Power and Sleep” options via the System in the Settings and selecting “Never” for both options under the “Screen” and “Sleep” headings.

Hopefully, now you know how to adjust the sleep settings on your Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 7 computer without a worry.
