Hibernation on Windows laptops and laptops may be useful, but can sometimes be out of place. Moreover, if on laptops with battery power hibernation and hibernation are really justified, then with regard to stationary PCs and in general, when working from the network, the benefits of hibernation are questionable.
So, if you are not satisfied with the fact that the computer falls asleep while you are making coffee, and how to get rid of it you have not figured it out yet, in this article you will find detailed instructions on how to disable hibernation in Windows 7 and Windows 8 .
I note that the first method described for disabling sleep mode is equally suitable for Windows 7 and for 8 (8.1). However, in Windows 8 and 8.1 there was another opportunity to perform the same actions, which some users (especially those with tablets) may find it more convenient - this method will be described in the second part of the manual.
Disable sleep on PC and laptop
To set up sleep mode in Windows, go to the “Power Options” item in the control panel (switch the view from “Categories” to “Icons”). On a laptop, you can run the power settings even faster: right-click on the battery icon in the notification area and select the appropriate item.
Well, another way to go to the desired item settings, which works in any modern version of Windows:
Quick launch of Windows power settings
- Press the Windows key (the one with the logo) + R on the keyboard.
- In the Run window, enter the command powercfg.cpl and press Enter.
Pay attention to the item "Setting the transition to sleep mode" on the left. Click on it. In the appeared dialog box of changing the power scheme parameters, you can set the basic parameters of sleep mode and turn off the computer display: automatically switch to sleep mode after a certain time when powered from the mains and the battery (if you have a laptop) or select the option “Never translate in sleep mode. "
These are only the basic settings - if you need to completely disable hibernation, including when closing the laptop, separately configure the settings for different power schemes, configure the hard drive shutdown and other parameters, click the “Change advanced power settings” link.
I recommend to carefully study all the items in the settings window that will open, since the sleep mode is configured not only in the “Sleep” item, but also in a number of others, some of which depend on computer hardware. For example, on a laptop, sleep mode may turn on when the battery is low, which can be configured in the Battery item or when the lid is closed (the Power Buttons and Lid item).
After all the necessary settings have been made, save the changes, you should not be bothered by the sleep mode anymore.
Note: Many laptops have pre-installed proprietary power management utilities designed to extend battery life. In theory, they can put the computer into sleep mode regardless of the settings.Windows (although I have not seen this). So, if the settings made according to the instructions did not help, pay attention to this.
An additional way to disable hibernation in Windows 8 and 8.1
The new version of the operating system from Microsoft, a number of functions of the control panel are duplicated in the new interface, including, there you can find and disable hibernation. To do this:
- Call the right panel of Windows 8 and click on the “Settings” icon, then select “Change computer settings” at the bottom.
- Open the item "Computer and devices" (In Windows 8.1. In my opinion, in Win 8 it was the same, but not sure. In any case, the same).
- Select "Shut down and hibernate."
Just on this screen, you can configure or disable the sleep mode of Windows 8, but only the basic power settings are presented here. For a more subtle change of parameters, you still have to turn to the control panel.
Behind this otklanivayus, good luck!
In the Windows 10 operating system, the waiting period for turning off the monitor in order to save energy is usually 10 minutes. In addition, when the monitor is turned off, the computer locks up. Further work is possible only after entering the password for the user being used. And if this is a necessary measure on PCs used as workplaces in large companies and in production, caused by security requirements, then on ordinary home computers there is no need for this. Moreover, this mechanism becomes very inconvenient: he retires to the kitchen for coffee and the operating system is blocked.
In order to debug the power saving for you and adjust the windows 10 screen shutdown time, you need to open the power settings. To do this, press the key combination Win + R and write the command powercfg.cpl. Like this:
You should open a window from which you can configure the computer’s power management schemes:
In bold type, the power supply system used by Windows 10 is currently highlighted. To enter its configuration, you need to click on the link “Configuring the power supply circuit”.
In the next window, the parameters for putting the display into sleep mode are displayed separately. In the line "Turn off the display" will be that timeout, which is currently used in the scheme. To set the time to turn off the Windows screen - just click the down arrow and a drop-down list with all possible values will appear. You can set it for half an hour, an hour or even disable this feature altogether in order to remove the display off completely.
Remember to click the “Save Changes” button to apply the selected timeout value.
It happens that you sit quietly at a computer or laptop. You read, for example, an article on a website or a book, and the monitor screen suddenly went out. You have to press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse to make the backlight work again.
Why it happens? The point is in the power settings. This is more suitable for laptops and netbooks, because they pay more attention to power supply, or more precisely, to keep it safe.
The screen goes off only during inactivity and this is determined by settings that often simply do not adjust or pay attention to them until the right moment.
Now we will understand this.
Power settings for windows 7
Right click on the power icon in the notification area
if it's not there, then read the article to set it up. Or click on the triangle next to the Language bar and look for the icon there.
This window will appear, in which we select Power supply
This can also be found in Start - Control Panel - Power Supply (when viewing "Large Icons")
Next, go to Power plan settings
Customize as you need - we increase the time Dimming and Disconnect the display from the network or from the battery (you can disconnect at all by putting "Never").
Remember to click then Save changes
I do not stop in detail, because everything is quite clear there.
Power settings for windows xp
You can enter the settings in the same way as in Windows 7: Start - Control Panel - Power Supply.
Then go to the tab Power plans.
You can choose one of the preset schemes - maybe there will be one that you like.
Or change the existing scheme.
Well, if this does not help, then the matter can be far worse than these simple settings so that the monitor screen does not fade during operation.
Hello! For two days I did not write anything useful to the blog, I was busy with one very important matter, which I will say at the end of the article :). And now I will tell how to disable sleep mode and display off in Windows 7. You probably know that if you leave the computer alone, do not press the keys and do not touch the mouse, the screen will turn off after a certain time and it will go into sleep mode, all this is done to save energy.
All this is of course good, you need to save energy, global warming and other cataclysms, but automatic transition to sleep mode very often brings a lot of trouble, as well as automatic shutdown of the screen.
Maybe you had cases when you watch a movie most often online, and every 10 seconds or so the screen turns off, you need to press keys, or move the mouse. Or left something to download from the Internet, and the computer went into sleep mode and everything stopped, these are the problems. And in order to solve them, you just need to turn off the automatic shutdown of the screen and go into sleep mode. What we will do now.
Click Start and go to.
In the control panel we are looking for “Power Supply” and choose it.
Automatic shutdown of the screen and the transition to sleep mode can be configured differently for the two plans: "Balanced" this plan is most often activated on desktops and laptops connected to the mains. AND “Energy Saving”This automatically turns on when the laptop is disconnected from the power supply. Let's tune for “Balanced” mode, click across from it.
As you can see, I have to turn off the screen after 10 minutes, and the automatic transition to sleep mode after 30 minutes. All you need is to simply change the time, or completely disable these actions by selecting “Never”. After the change, do not forget to click “Save Changes”.
That's all friends, now you can safely watch movies and leave the download for a long time. The computer will not automatically turn off the monitor and goes into sleep mode.
And a few words about what I was doing these two days. I am doing a new design for the blog, which if everything is good in a few days can be seen on this blog, so I will go and wait :) I’ll say nothing more. Good luck friends!
