    My computer falls asleep every few seconds


    Hello, I've been having the problem for a few days that my computer seems to pause every few seconds. This is noticeable, for example, in that while I am writing a text, individual letters are swallowed which I can correct afterwards. The cursor over written text stops approximately every 10 to 15 characters and then moves on.

  2. Computer falling asleep

    Everytime i log onto my compuyer (windows 10 desktop) it shows the desktop background, loads up the files, then falls asleep. This is really annoying beciase i have been having another issue for a few months that makes it so i have to turn off my computer
    and turn it back on whenever it falls asleep. How do i make it stop falling asleep manually?

  3. PC will not turn on after falling asleep

    I step away from my PC a lot and leave it running, and then it falls asleep. Recently, I come back to wake it up and nothing happens. The lights on the tower come on, and I can hear the fans running, so there is power. But nothing else happens. Monitor is completely black, mouse and keyboard don't come on; nothing. If I do nothing and just let it run, after a couple of minutes it will just shut off completely. I will then press the power button, and it boots up like it hadn't been asleep but rather I just turned it on for the first time. Whatever I was working on or tabs I had pulled up are all gone. Does anyone know what this could be?

    Bonus info, not sure if related but these issues started happening around the same time- when I do boot up my computer it has started saying "To skip disk cleaning, press any button in (X) seconds..." if I press a button it goes to home screen. If I don't press a button, it says "Scanning and repairing drive C:"

    Any info will be appreciated! Thanks.

    Problem with Microsoft Desktop Bluetooth Bundle: mouse falls asleep after 3-5 seconds

    Hello!

    I've purchased a Microsoft Desktop Bundle BT Black (1AI-00011) a few days ago.

    I use it with Lenovo AIO PC, with Windows 10 Home inside.

    I found the following problem: the mouse falls asleep literally after 3-5 seconds of inactivity.

    I see like the cursor seems to freeze for a couple of milliseconds, and then make a sharp movement when I touch the mouse.

    This is very annoying.

    I've tried all the suggestions found on different forums and FAQ sites:

    1. I enabled the automatic start of the Bluetooth service through the registry;

    2. I deactivated the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” menu item for the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, for HID (Human Interface Devices), and even for USB ports.

    The problem, however, has not disappeared.

    The delay seemed to be a little less.

    But the jerk of the cursor remains.

    I connect another mouse via a radio module, and everything's fine. It never falls asleep!

    I would be grateful for any advice that will solve my problem.

    P.S. My computer does not have a standard BIOS, so I cannot change any Bluetooth settings there.
