windows 8.1 sleep mode issue

[kage1822]

i turn off my sleep mode, and never had an issue until just recently. I now find mainly when I wake up in the morning that my laptop has gone into sleep mode. I have checked my power settings to see if somehow that was changed, but everything is still set to never... any thoughts?

When you set it to never sleep, did you go through all the options and make sure nothing causes it to sleep? To do so you have to go into "Control Panel" and then "Power Options". Click on "Change plan settings" next to the plan you are using and then on the next screen click "Change advanced power settings". In this new window go through the list. Checking everything, to make sure nothing is set to sleep.

Side note: Leaving it on 24/7 isn't the wisest of choices.

yes, it doesn't go into sleep mode all the time, but it does once in a while which confuses me. I set everything to never when I first got my laptop and never had an issue until just recently

Perhaps something you are running/installed made the change. It happens.

i went back into my settings and everything was still set to never, that's why I'm so confused

Again, did you install or update anything recently? If so, that could have changed the way your system reacts, even if you can't see the changes in the power options.

not recently, maybe 3 months ago or so

Hmm.. I am at a loss then.

Anyone else?
