Why is sleep mode good for your computer?

• Reduces monitor burn-in for always-up  desktop images.

Sometimes, sleep mode won’t work.  That can happen with interrupting programs, Windows updates running, Windows issues, computer viruses, and more.

Here’s how you can fix common sleep mode issues:

1. Go to Start->type cmd->hit enter
2. Type: powercfg -requests
3. Review any programs that are interrupting your computer’s sleep mode.
4. Remove interrupting programs from startup by going to Start->type msconfig
5. Go to Startup tab and uncheck an problematic programs.  This will just remove the programs from starting up with your computer, not fully remove the programs.

Now, you’re computer will fully nap, sleep, dose, up and grab z’s when needed to fully charge its battery.  Just five steps and you didn’t have to be a PC expert to resolve this Windows computer issue.
