Windows 10 offers various customizable sleep setting options, so your PC sleeps exactly the way you want. For example, you can set your PC to sleep after a predefined time period has elapsed. You can even make your PC fall asleep when you close your laptop’s lid.
In this guide, we’ll take a look at some of the Windows 10 sleep settings that you can tweak on your PC.
Choose the Idle Duration After Which Your PC Sleeps
When you configure sleep settings for your PC, the first option to define is how long your PC should be in idle mode to enter sleep mode. You can choose different options for both when your machine is plugged into a power source and when your machine is running on battery.
