Typically, the default settings are the optimal configuration for most users to save energy and carbon footprint while extending battery life. However, if you prefer to keep the device running longer or want to prevent it from entering the sleep low-power state mode, Windows 11 allows you to change the time for the screen and sleep. This guide will teach you the steps to change the sleep timeout to control when your laptop or desktop computer should enter into sleep mode. In addition, we’ll outline the steps to disable the feature to prevent the device from sleeping automatically.
